YOu have the talent that will get you very far in divination." She was truly sure wit this one.
Toby smiled, hearing that from the portrait lady. Clearly she was into the whole Seeing business, most likely a Seer himself from what he was able to glean from the way she spoke and the accurate reading she'd done on him.
"Thanks," he said, still smiling away.
"And don't worry, you said nothing wrong. The opposite in fact." Yeah. She'd been quite correct. And... Merlin, what time was it now? Toby predicted (oh ho ho) that they'd been finishing up very soon. He addressed the portrait again.
"Sorry, but... what's your name?" Whether or not he had the gift, this was something he was pretty sure he couldn't divine. Maybe once he knew it he'd go look her up in the library, just for something to do.
