Curious.

Sometimes things just don’t jive.

Maria, a local eboni (a healer and fortuneteller) whose favorite trick is to stick pens through the hole in her lower lip, came to visit the other day. She told Kimmie she—the healer—was sick and needed medicine.

Craig took the Iltis to pick up Juliana—the rainmaker, believed to bring the rain—in a nearby village. On the way home, she asked Craig if it had rained in our village. Shouldn’t she, um, know?

It’s all very curious. ;)
