Verite corrects me, almost wary as she says, "um... yes sure. The shop is actually on Main street. It's between the butcher an the general store. only a little further away." I cover my face with my hand and laugh at my mistake. "And you just told me." I shrug, still laughing, "My memory's better than it used to be but so I don't even have a good excuse. Can we blame it on my too-busy brain instead?"
Verite orders cider and I give Melania my big order, too. She's off to the bar and I watch her speak to Thomas. He's smiling and that's a good sign. I wonder briefly what Iago will think of her before turning back to Verite and asking about her tattoos.
She smiles, pleased as she says, "Thanks. his name was Andre an he lives in one of the cities down south. I was his student for a few months." I noticed her little shiver and I touch another part of the design, smiling sweetly as I comment, "I think you were both meant to find each other, you and your teacher. It's obvious that he was skilled," I look up, catching her eyes as I continue, "-and he nurtured your ability too. You looked really happy when you said his name."
Melania's returning and I sit back a bit, giving Verite space but since these tables are small, that's only so much. I can't wait to renovate and I giggle over my own impatience. Changing the subject, I ask, "Have you been to the carnival yet? I visited a while ago and I loved it. Everyone there was so vibrant and cheerful. It was like a pleasant dream for me."
