We had just paid for our supper at the Vistani fire with Sirius's life story when a big man strode out of the great tent at the back of the camp and spoke to us as if we were late:
"What took you, Drusila, Fëanor, Lilli-grai, Osric, Sirius? You are expected."
None of us had told anyone at Tser Pool our names. He seemed lovely. So, someone pointed out, had the last man we thought seemed lovely.
Then he held the tent flap open for us. "Greetings, all. You are expected. Please enter this tent. Madam Eva is waiting." Inside were candles, black velvet on every surface, two decks of cards and an old woman who had been waiting for us for a long time. Sirius asked whether they might do this over wine, and the big man fetched a glass. "Drink all around." Sirius declared him his new best friend.
Everything he knew about us, it turned out, he knew from Madam Eva. What the cards said is on The Reading.
What we still don't know
How did he know our names?Answered, Session 6: Madam Eva knew them.- How long, then, has this camp known we were coming, and how?
