He waved his wand at the pen. As if the problems with the ingredient inventory list weren’t bad enough, the pen was driving him crazy. ”Finite Incantatem.” The pen fell to the floor in a small clatter where Adam left it. In fact, the way he was feeling about it right now, it might stay there forever. He took a deep breath and then, shoving his horrible glasses back up his nose, turned to look at Laurel. ” Airey asked fur anozzer infentory chart.”He picked up one of the bottles of pickled doxy eggs, gave it a shake and then put it back on the shelf. ” Eizzer, someone is vorking on somezzing I know no about, or zere is a problem ze supply cupboard.”

The funny thing was, he had just done an inventory of their supplies a few months ago and hadn’t noticed a major depletion of any of the ingredients. So why was there a discrepancy now? He wondered for a moment if he should even be telling Laurel about this. Might it get him in trouble? No, the woman was good at keeping a secret, had to be in their line of work. Right? He put another bottle of something that looked like it might still be moving away on the shelf. Only the bottle never made it on the shelf, because he turned back to Laurel. Why was she in the Love Chamber? She never came here. Plus, hadn’t she been on maternity leave? He specifically remembered her being out for baby-leave because he had had to go home and ask Zita to explain what Laurel had meant by being in a ‘blessed conditition.’ He turned towards her, still holding the bottle of moving things. ”Vhen did you get back?”

Walking into the Love Chamber, Cath looked around while calling out "Hello? Is anyone here?"


Laurel kept quiet and waited patiently, restraining herself from making any comments as Adam kept cursing at things around him like his pen that she from observation gathered wasn’t writing down what he wanted, and the general state of the storage. It was better to let Adam cool off before she spoke, she was not in the mood for a fiesty exchange.

Nodding Laurel replied cautiously. "Yes, I heard Airey’s wishes/order for full inventory of the lab storage in particular. I’ve taken stock of things in the Prophecy hall too." And she was very worried about her findings. Eyebrows going up in surprise she asked "Really? There are supplies missing? How odd, there are smashed orbs and missing prophecies in the hall too." What was going on? Had mysteries had a break in during the holidays? Taking a careful step back from the bottle of something floating around and Adam Laurel said. "I got back from maternity leave this morning. Good thing too, it seems."

Hearing a voice she didn’t exactly place, but probably belonged to a new hire to the department Laurel called out. "We are in the storage room at the back of the chamber."
