Laurasia silently sat drinking her tea & reflecting, allowing herself to relax. As she got near to the bottom of the cup, she made sure to leave some of the water at the bottom to allow for slosh room.

She did the necessary rotations & then turned the cup over onto her saucer. Again, she made the necessary rotations. Before turning the cup over to read it she took a few deep breathes & cleared her mind. She slowly turned the cup over & cradled it in her hand while gazing pensively into the cup. She said nothing for a few minutes & simply gazed into the depths of the cup.

After a few more minutes she pulled out her quill & began to write down her notes...

"To the right of the handle & near the rim is an arrow.
At the base of the cup is a cauldron & a few bubbles.
In the mid-section of the cup, & also to the right of the handle, is a snake."

She sat her quill down & patiently waited for the professor to continue.
