Just A Girl

“Seeing?” Aoife echoed. “Seeing what?”

“Your fortune or fall, your lover or your child - whatever you desire, if you’re willing to pay the price,” Brenna said. She strummed a glissando of notes, and Ciaran went still, listening intently to the conversation. “You can see the living and the dead, and the yet to be born.”

“You’re a witch,” Aoife said flatly.

“Hardly,” Brenna said. “I’m just a girl, waiting for a boy or a war or something to make my life matter.”

“How much for a bowl?”

“What have you got?”

“I’m a decent spinner,” Aoife said.

“One spool, then.”
