Alys finished her stew at the same time as Maea and rose from her seat, ready to deliver her bowl to wherever dirty dishes were being collected. She wished she had water magic - that would make cleaning up easier.
At Maea’s joke, Alys offered a half-hearted smile, but her insides twisted painfully. The Void was what had taken her companion from her, and though Maea didn’t know that, it didn’t make the pain any less. ”I appreciate the thought,” she said softly. ”But… it might be good for me to do something other than grieve.” She dusted her hands off on her thighs, ridding her fingers of any lingering crumbs. ”Over there - there’s a picnic table. That should work.” If Maea was still willing, anyway.
Assuming that the Ancient accepted, Alys led the way to the table, bypassing some of the cheerful townsfolk to take a seat on one side of the table. She pulled a deck of cards wrapped in silk from her pocket. Where she would normally offer clients a selection of decks to choose from, today she carried only her favorite, and that would have to do.
