BASIL BOGGLE TEA SHOPPE

Anni rose, blinking several times just to be sure she wasn’t dreaming. Vivian Sugar stood in Fortensia’s doorway.

Daphne stood and said “Hello” first.

“Sorry,” said Anni, still stunned. “Miss Sugar, this is Daphne. Come in.”

“I’m not interrupting, am I?” asked Vivian. “I can come back if you like.”

“No,” said Daphne. “Actually, I need to be going anyway. Anni, I’ll see you later. Nice to meet you, Miss Sugar.” And she left them.

“I expect you are surprised to see me here,” said Vivian. “Here, on the Zephyr.”

Anni nodded, speechless.

“Oh, dear,” said Vivian, looking nervous. “Where to start? With the truth, I suppose…Anni…I’m an Elemental. Moon Manor is my family home. Mabel was my aunt, and Teddy my uncle. I came to Waterstone Academy after Mabel―well, you know, to help Teddy out. Teddy and Egbert made it plain to me that I could not share my family associations without discussing or explaining the Elemental world to you. I’m very sorry about that, especially if I have lost your trust and your friendship; that would grieve me greatly. Honestly, I have been beside myself once I was told about Lexi’s disappearance, and you gone as well. I’ve tried in vain to find Lexi. Egbert would not allow me to help him—to put it mildly, he and I do not get along. You might like to know Headmistress Turnkey is on the mend. Al-though I didn’t know it at the time, she and Egbert used the expulsion as an excuse to get you and Lexi away from school and somewhere safe. Anni, I would have come sooner, had I known you were here. But on the off chance that you arrived here, I asked—begged—my sister Krizia to allow you to stay.”

“She’s your sister?” Anni wondered when people would stop keeping so much from her, but she directed her irritation at Egbert and could barely contain her frustration with him. “I told Egbert that Finnegan was responsible. Finnegan was working with someone, I don’t know who; they planned to kidnap Lexi and me. Egbert tricked me into coming here. I have to leave and find her. I don’t know where she is. I’m so worried. Can you help me leave? I could come with you. We could look for her together.”

“Oh, Anni,” said Vivian with a pitiful gaze. “I’m afraid my influence here is not strong enough to get you off the Zephyr. If someone was after you as well as Lexi, I can understand now why Egbert sent you here.” Vivian paused. “I can see that I have let you down. Will you allow me to do something to make it up to you? I am just as much your relation as Egbert is, and with your permission, of course, I can petition the Elofficium to become one of your vouchers while you stay here. Would you like that?”

“Yes, yes.” Anni nodded, starting to feel calmer. She loved this idea. If only it applied to the human world as well! Vivian would
