((I'm doing this as Valelldia... but I'm not switching into the other account because I'm a lazy bugger. XD))
Val opened the doors to WhistleStick, and in doing so, invited the night air to whirl inside, creating faint whisps of cold in and around the gypsy's heavy skirts. She only smiled at the fresh burst of river air, and sat back, a silver cloth laid atop the crystal sphere where it sat.

|-bounces stuff off of Oq's head-|
Caroline pauses in her short walk to Valelldia's wagon. She'd seen the dark-haired gypsy open her doors, and wondered how she knew Caroline was coming. She pulls her shawl more tightly around her and keeps walking, the wind whipping through her light skirt and chilling her always-bare feet.

"Welcome in, Caroline," Valelldia said, stepping back from the open door. The floor creaked ever so slightly under her weight. She pulled the silvery cloth from the table, and it billowed deeper into WhistleStick with the aid of the wind. The brilliant crystal ball remained, glowing almost ominously in the moonlight. Valelldia took her seat behind it and beamed- her smile nigh brighter than the crystal.
"Do you have a question for me?" She said, dulcet tones against the wind.

"Aye, I do," replies Caroline. "I'd like a reading for Rojiza. I've nothing specific to ask, really, I just want to know what the Meij has in store for my bonnie lass."

Valelldia nodded and focused on the deep tones of the crystal as its depths flowed and hummed in anticipation. She caught glimmers of the future and the past, all flowing together in snippets, like scraps of a quilt that had been discarded in a silver river. The gypsy coaxed them into the submission of her eye, beseaching themselves to float to the surface.
"I see a greedy hand. ...Much joy, much happiness... and envy. I see a child growing taller, and more beautiful, but behind her eyes are green- she longs for something. But one of her friends posesses it."
The ball went dark. "That is all I can capture."

Caroline nods slightly. "I suppose the Meij doesna feel like being annathing but cryptic, mm?" she says with a wry smile. "Very well. I'll take it t'heart. Thank ye, Valelldia." She drops ten couplets onto the table.

The gypsy nodded in thanks, collecting the couplets in her skirt. But before the woman left, she put a cautioning hand up to her.
"Know this, however. The jealousy will come to one, poignant head in a single event that will shape whether she becomes a Fortunette or an Unfortunette adult. So we must all do our best to protect her... before that day, so that she might make the right choice."
