281 -  Scrying Bowl

2021

     Daprima             Fin            Esmodonti

Wednesday morning in the kitchen …
















DAPRIMA:
… Gee babe, you didn’t need to bring me a gift.
Having you here with me is all I ever really …
















DAPRIMA:
… It’s a bowl.


FIN:
It’s a scrying bowl.


DAPRIMA:
It’s beautiful, but why would you give me this?





















FIN:
It’s not from me, it’s from Syrrah. It’s supposed to help
bring clarity, for when you have a premonition.
















DAPRIMA:
Oh, but I don’t know how to use it.


FIN:
That’s what I told Syrrah …





















FIN:
… so she included this book of instructions.
















DAPRIMA:
Well isn’t she thorough? … Looks simple enough.


 














DAPRIMA:
… I’ll try it out later, but now I have to get to class.
















FIN:

Don’t forget, we’re going out to dinner tonight.


DAPRIMA:
Looking forward to it. 



















Then …














ESMODONTI:
Fin - you’re back!
















FIN:
Sure am. I got in late last night. 


ESMODONTI:
I’ll bet that put a big smile on Daprima’s face.
It’s so great to see ya again.


FIN:
Thanks. And look at you - walking around in the
daytime. Wow - I really like the new eyes.
















ESMODONTI:
Thanks. Things are just fab. I get to play full time mama for my little
elf-kin and I can even go out in the sun. Hey is Blondie with you?


FIN:
No, it’s just me. Karanthir’s still attending those
endless festivities at Court.





















ESMODONTI:
I really miss that dude, and we have so much unfinished business
to deal with. I just want it to be over with already.
















FIN:

Like what? 


ESMODONTI:

Have you forgotten that I nearly killed the prince?


FIN:
Oh that. Es, we all know that wasn’t your fault - that it was really
Herita’s potion, which she tricked you into drinking.
















ESMODONTI:
I get that, but I still won’t feel right till I can apologize face to face
to both of them. I still feel so bad about it all.


FIN:

If it helps, I can honestly say you’ve been forgiven,
by everyone involved.
















ESMODONTI:
Thanks Fin, you’re a doll. Now if only I can
forgive myself, and Syrrah.


FIN:
Syrrah?





















ESMODONTI:
Yeah, she’s the one who got Usagi to put me under that sleep spell.
I can’t get to Usagi cause she moved out while I was under,
but Syrrah - that chic and I need to have a long chat.
















FIN:
Vanni told me she admitted to him that she was in the wrong.


ESMODONTI:
No way!


FIN:
And she’s very contrite about it. I’m pretty
sure she wants to talk to you too. 
















ESMODONTI: 

Fab - then the two of us have something to look forward to.
Hey did Daprima tell ya - Roc asked me out, on a real date!


FIN:
She did.


ESMODONTI:
I just hope we can through it without killing each other.
