He smiled. "
Don't worry if you can't See anything. Sometimes even celebrated Seers can go for days without anything, so I doubt you're expected to get something your first time. Oh, and I'm Keefer, by the way."
He settled into a comfy position and let his mind rest and relax. In previous Divination lessons, he had found this to be a good technique to help him make sense of symbols.
After several long moments, he opened his eyes and stared into what was left of his partner's tea. He began to methodically rotate the cup clockwise. In his peripheral vision, he was vaguely aware of his partner gazing into his own cup.

"Hmm." She muttered to herself.
Were they really supposed to see something? Because she was having a bit of difficulty.
She stared at the leaves for several minutes, turning it this way and that way. Wait...was that something? She squinted her eyes and leaned a little closer. That looked like...well, like a pile of bricks.
Kourt flipped through the book until she reached the symbols page. Bricks...bricks..."signify new plans and enterprises which will lead to prosperity. " She read aloud. "Well...that's good." She commented, looking back up.
A few minutes passed before he was startled out of his revelry. "
Prosperity? Yes, I suppose that is good," he said quietly, taking care not to distract those around him. He tilted his head so he could look at what she had seen.
Wow, that really does look like bricks, he thought.
Returning his attention back to the cup he was supposed to be examining, he again began to rotate it in his hands. A whole minute passed before the leaves resolved into the shape of a flower. "
It looks like a poppy," he murmured softly. Pulling his textbook towards him, he rifled through the pages until he found a list of flower symbols. Under poppy, he saw "This flower is significant of a pleasant occurrence in the early summer."
Lovely. Good news back for her!
He tapped her on the shoulder to silently get her attention. He showed her the cup and traced out the border of the poppy. "
It means something pleasant will happen at the beginning of summer holidays." He nodded his approval and satisfaction.
