Just as she stepped from her little wagon she saw a man approach. He didn't have the look of the alley but a customer was a customer. "The palm will cost you 9 galleons but the Tarot will cost you 12." They might have been worth more but she was a generous Hag in her old age, or so she would tell everyone.

"Which will you be having, Dear?"

Dmitry waited patiently for the answer and was shocked when the Roma woman revealed the price. He had thought for sure that it would be more expensive than that. Still, he wasn't going to question the woman on her choice of price. Only a fool would do that. "In that case, I would like a... Tarot reading, please madame."

Now Dmitry could only hope that whatever the reading showed would be good news. He'd already asked though and it would be quite rude to turn around and change his mind now that he'd given an answer just because he decided to get a little worried about whether or not he actually wanted to know part of his future. Dmitry was sure it would be fine though. He'd get his reading, buy the runes for Aleksandr afterwards and then go to the robe shop.

He wanted his fate told in the cards, ah yes, yes. "Just a moment." Boney fingers searched through the little boxes within the old wagon until she found her personal deck of tarot cards. These were the ones she was comfortable with and they were the most accurate.

The old hag produced the deck and held it toward the young man. "I'll need you to shuffle this deck, then cut it in half, thinking about the question you'd like to ask while you do. You must think very hard."

And she expected he would put his money on the table. It was common courtesy when dealing with a business transaction.

What a crisp man in deed. The Gypsy Hag watched him approach, wary of the potential galleons he had hidden within that fancy suit of his. The confidence on him was telling but that might not have been a good thing...for him. Black eyes followed his every move until he turned his attention to the menu.

"What can I do for you?"

Alex turned his glanced towards the hag and smiled. He bowed to the Gypsy Hag. "Ah, Senora... What a lovely sight to see..." Alexalanso straightened up, knowing what he said was a bit of a stretch seeing how she was an old hag but this Spanish man was raised to compliment his elders. Alex glanced over at the menu again. "How much would a palm reading be?" He looked back over at the Gypsy Hag and smiled his pearly white teeth. Alex wanted to know if there was love in his future... and if this change from Spain to England was a good thing... true Jazz did seem to like him but ya, know... she was gorgeous so she could get any guy she wanted... and he wasnt sure about the whole move thing.

A black cat entered the store, her eyes scanning for the right assortment of Divination items. Within seconds, the cat has turned back to its witch form. Helena was now dressed in a knee-length black dress. She desired The Witches Tarot Kit, telekinetic enhancer and a Brass dowsing rod set. Helena waited for the shopkeeper to serve her, knowing full well that she might be busy doing readings.
