Chapter 7

“I see…danger approaching.”

“Nay, ye dinnae.”

“Aye, I do. See that squiggle there?”

“That’s a bit of sugar, stuck to the leaf. See? It wipes right off.”

“Hmm. Alright, ye’re correct. I dinnae see danger at all. I see…a journey. They’re going on a journey.”

“Of love?”

“Yes, Willa dear. Vanessa and Roland are going on a journey of love. Now do be quiet and let Broca concentrate. Reading the tea leaves is not an easy skill, and not everyone can master it.”

“Like Broca, for instance.”

“I heard that, Grisel!”

“Good, ye were supposed to. Now, what kind of journey?”

“Hold on, the leaves arenae precise. A…plane trip?”

“What’s a plane? Like…a plain trip? They’re going someplace plain?”

“Nay, I got the ‘P’ wrong. Wain? Fain? Main! Maybe they’re going on a main trip?”

“Whizzat mak b’now to ram?”

“I dinnae ken, Seonag. None of that makes sense to me either. How’s the crystal ball coming?”

“Blantawit!”

“…Oh.”

“Look, Grisel, if ye want to drink the damn tea and try to make sense of—”

“Oh! A train trip!”

“That’s it, Willa dear! Excellent deductive work. So they’re going on a train trip, Broca?”

“Aye, I suppose that could be it. A train trip. South.”

“Thank you, Broca. Now, where are they going?”

“Ye dinnae ask the easy questions, do ye? Grisel, ye’d better brew another pot.”
