She then attended to her own cup of tea, took a quick sip, and then picked up her quill and began to write on the piece of parchment she had placed on the table.

SPOILER!!: zee parchyment

Having prepared he parchment for whatever note taking and lists she would need, she returned her violet gaze to Simon and tapped her index finger against her lips. "Do you have any ideas?" Kurumi asked before taking another sip of her tea. "I think it will be easiest if we think about it this way. We have five senses, six if you want to pretend that one of us is a Seer." She glanced around looking for Selina for just a brief moment. "Sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. We have to pretend that our ability to see has been taken away and we now have to rely on our other senses to identify a plant."

She leaned back in her chair and sipped on her tea while she waited for Simon to respond.

Simon looked at Kurumi and then he looked at the sky, he had no idea why he was staring there but he had just decided that he wanted to, he wasn't really paying attention to Kurumi, he had just seen something flying in the sky and had decided that was a lot more interesting that the work that Professor Bentley had set them.
