"Go for a walk. Look around. Talk to the first old person we see."
"Perfect." She smiled and sipped on her water.
"I suppose" he said smiling at her as she sipped her water. "Whenever you are ready my love"
"I'm ready." She smiled and cleared her throat.
"Good" he stood and held out his arm for her.
She stood up and took his arm, holding her shawl around her with her other hand
He led her out onto the boardwalk of the town.
She stood close to him and peered around. Only a few people were walking around.
"Lets head this way" he said pointing toward the center of town near the general store.
She nodded and followed. "This is a nice place."
"I like it" he said "But its not home"
"Me too, but I think for now we should stay away."
They walked arm in arm to the store "Want to see what they have for sale?"
"Yes." She smiled and picked up her dress as they walked up the steps to the store.
Once inside they looked around there was the obvious general store items with little room for anything else. The store keeper eyed them not to trusting of strangers.
Lucy tightened her grip around his arm and kept her eyes averted elsewhere, catching notice of a class box with rings in it.
Jeff followed her gaze and smiled "I don't think that I can afford one of those just yet" he whispered a littler sorrow in his eyes.
"I have money, Jeff." She said softly, looking up at him.
"I am not going to let you buy your own ring" he said sternly. He hated how poor he was but he couldn't let her do that.
He smiled "I promise I will get the money and buy you one"
"I know." She kissed his cheek. In the corner of the room, a faint 'psst' sound made Lucy look over her shoulder at a tiny old lady dressed in an arrange is beads and jewels.
Jeff looked around at the hats and other stuff high on the walls of the store.
The old women beckoned Lucy over to her, which she hesitantly did.
Jeff turned to see what Lucy was doing not seeing the old woman.
"Um, hello." Lucy said awkwardly. The old women smiled a toothless grin.
Jeff heard Lucy and he walked up behind her looking over her shoulder.
"You two look like you're in need of help." The old women said. Lucy looked back at Jeff, unsure.
"Um, yes actually. We're looking for a group of people that go by The Elders.." Lucy said in a soft, quiet voice.The old women starred at Lucy, one eye made of glass. "Give me your hand, child." She said.
Jeff stirred behind them getting nervous.
Lucy gingerly held out her hand to the women, who took it with calloused hands. She flinched a little at how cold her hands were as she wrapped both her bony hands around Lucy's. The women closed his eyes and inhaled sharply. "Aahhh, a necromancer." She grinned that sent a shiver down Lucy's spine.
Jeff frowned but didn't say anything.
Lucy took her hand away and hugged it to her chest. "Are you...do you know where we can find the elders?" Lucy asked softly.The women furrowed her thin brows. "all i know is of a big house.."
" Do you know what they call themselves? " Jeff asked worried that they would just be walking into a scarlet house.
The women turned her attention to Jeff. "I believe they call themselves the Readers'. One of their surnames." She said.
"And you said they're in a big house, yes?" Lucy asked. The women widened her eyes in awe. "Oh yes, very big. On top of the hill a few miles from here."
Jeff tried to.show disinterest at her comments.
"Is something wrong, son?" The women said to him.
He shook his head not wanting to tell the old woman too much.
Lucy forced a smile. "Thank miss for the information. It will really help us." She said, bowing at the waist and taking jeffs hand.
Jeff led her from the store his hand in hers.
"So, should we go?" She said once they were outside.
"I am not sure. we have to.check.it out but we have to be careful. Maybe I should go alone"
