Olly was enjoying his tea with the clearest mind possible. He thought he had done an okay job with it. When there was just a little bit left he stopped drinking and swirled the cup, letting the tea circle around in there one, two, and three times. Then he turned it upside down, letting the leftover tea spill out onto the saucer. That was weird. He didn't really understand why that was necessary. It seemed...unnatural. They were disturbing the tea leaves so how could they be accurate? But he didn't care enough to ask so he just moved on.

He let the cup stay tipped over for a bit before he turned it back upright. Now it was time to do the actual reading and future telling stuff. He studied the shapes on the bottom of his cup for a bit before opening his book. This couldn't be too hard to mess up, right? All he had to do was read from the book. But he stared at his cup, and then glanced toward the professor. Olly raised his hand.

"What do we do if the shape is over this line?" He tried to indicate without touching the inside of the cup because that would mess up the reading. "It's on both the middle and the bottom so how do we know what that means?" He knew the shape meant the same thing of course, but if each section was for a different time, how did he know if it applied to his near future or was the ultimate answer - whatever that meant.
