A frog squire stands at attention, in green livery with white tights. He wears a powdered and curled wig. He holds one peppermill (the suit symbol) and eight more stand on the shelves behind him.
LWB: Waiting for a fight. A mental standoff. A deterrent to enemy attack. Prepared for any difficulties. A pause in an ongoing battle. Order and discipline.
Reversed: Calamity or ill health. Caught by surprise. A wall of adversity. Long delay. Unhappiness.
He does look like he's ready for battle... he even holds his weapon. Either that or he's a waiter. :) He seems confident. He's putting all his ducks in a row, so to speak, and getting it all ready, shining up his sword, checking approach routes, keeping up on his exercise routine. "Just in case"... Something preys on one's mind. You worry, but you can't pin it down; it's a nagging thing, not a nightmare like the 9 of swords. This is the little voice in the back of your head that whispers until you want to turn around and confront it, and ask "WHAT????"
