THERE.
She saw it.
Without intending to, she bumped into someone who was mouthing things she doesn't even understand. Solitude was her specialty. Too many people. "I'm sorry," looking up to the lady, she was frightened and instantly avoided to stare too much.
Oli on the spot picked up her A History of Magic.

Her mum had told her to never go down there.
When she was a few inches behind the younger girl, Vivian tugged on her arm. Not saying anything, the blond simply nodded as a gesture for them to get the heck outta there.
The old hag nudged her cart through the crowded street, repeating her simple chant over and over. With a crowd this large, there would surely be some curious about their future and that was where she came in.
A few steps down, she felt something (someone as it turned out to be) knocking right into her and shifting her balance. Madam Hildegard took a moment to right herself before turning to the young girl with a severe look.
"You clumsy child!!!!" She shrieked, her coarse voice cracking here and there as her indignation rose.
"A curse! I see a curse on you and an agonizing end!" And another one. Come to bump into her too then not pay for a reading?
"And on your friend! Get out of my way unless either of you wants a further reading." Or a reservation with her soup cauldron.

She loved her elf that daddy Culloden got her to do magic for her, but she didn't like bringing him along to the alley, it made her seem even more odd. She knew her twin made all new friends and was having a blast without her and now being here she felt even more left out.
As she walked along the street looking at the food stands and not knowing where her sister had run off to Alana found an interesting looking person and listened to her speak.
"Excuse me, but can you really tell someone's future?" Alana was sure the woman just guessed.
OoooHHhHHh a potential customer.
"Of course I can, Dearie. Once you have a question in mind, I can search my crystal ball, or use my tarot cards. I have several methods for you to choose from but first." This wasn't a charity drive.
"Do you have any coins?"
Children everywhere, delicious, tasty......but broke if their parents didn't provide them money. The hag did not work for free.

In such a large crowd, it was hard to tell the direction of the voices she heard. Somewhere, very vaguely, she heard someone suggest a fortune reading but looking about the crowd, it was hard to tell who.
" Yes, yes! Come and have your future told, every answer worth its weight in gold!" She called aloud hoping whoever had wanted the reading would make there way over while she dealt with this other potential customer. Couldn't lose a single customer.
