Sweet Twilight -- Knave of Swords

To me, her hand on his shoulder is indicative of support, of acceptance of the way he is (or acceptance of the way things are in general) ...perhaps this acceptance comes through understanding the concept of duty and necessity. He goes off, and whatever will be will be...

Also, the squirrel reminds me of harvest; of taking only what you need and being prepared for anything because you know the way the world works. Just as the seasons change, so may our current circumstances, and the signs (in nature, in our lives/world) are all around us... The man's sword in front of his face = looking ahead.
