Nadia chuckled and went to her tea leaves, choosing some apple and strawberry flavoured tea bags. She went to the actual exercise though still a bit hesitant on this whole divination thing after last time. Without a strainer, she sprinkled the leaves into a teapot, added boiling water and steeped until it was her desired strength. With quill and parchment handy, she tried to relax the most she could (which just to think about it made it more difficult) and poured the water over the leaves.

And a twig appeared. It was floating up there, and then it sunk. Nadia wondered if she should notate that in the first place. Probably better if not. She just didn't want to give the professor any more roll to be... well, just not wanted to encourage her. Besides, she hadn't even sipped.

She tried to get in that contemplation mode, like meditation... realxation... it was uncannily feeling as an experience she had before experienced. Could it be? She let herself relax and tried to get in a zombie-like state if she could, and then trying to keep this state, moved over and reached for the cup with her--- left hand. So it was. She reached and sipped and waited.

So it was. She prefered spin the cup three times as explained. She prefered that anyways to walk body slowly in three circles, pass her hand three times over the cup and/or count to three aloud. Then dumped the content. Left a bit her meditative state in this step.

Breath three times, that she did do. "Aqua boraxit venias carajos," she recited, "Fixitur et patricam explinabit tornare." It seemed to improve her concentration, whatever she was saying, "Hax verticalines pax Fantas marobum, max destinatus, veida porol." Now the level step. She stared at cup and found nothing at her Rim Section. There were much more content on the middle and base sections.

Only then she remembered she was suppossed to zone out and get into a dream-like state to read the leaves. She read clockwise from the handle. First pattern, symbol representing dominant character, quality, state of mind or question. It was a ... what was it? She wanted to say a dot.... or a hat.

Rim section, nothing, at all. Middle section, nearer future, fortnight-- it was a wing kind of symbol and a vase. Maybe a lock if you saw it titling your head. Base section, far future. A crocodile, a wolf, a triangle and a flame as in fire. Tending for the right section. There were twigs horizonal and vertical. It was impossible there weren't a couple of drops. She wrote a couple of it all down.
