You turn, unimpressed, to Marta.
MAGNOLIA
_____Where's the rest of my retinue?
She blinks, taken aback by your forwardness.
MARTA
_____I'm sorry?
MAGNOLIA
_____A full-fledged Oracle usually leaves the premises with her followers assembled.
_____Miss Ereth should be present.
MARTA
_____Oh... we're sorry to have offended you, Madame. I'm sure she's simply waiting in the coach.
Silence descends upon you like a blanket woven from actual, legitimate awkwardness made manifest.
** Marta's opinion of you has soured slightly. **
You head outside. Indeed, there's a vehicle waiting to receive you just beyond the temple grounds. Miss Ereth is nowhere in sight, though the driver has the grace to wait in plain view.
You precede Marta down the stone path leading to the road. The young women minding them bow and bid you well before unlatching the wrought-iron gate.
DRIVER
_____This way, Madame Oracle.
You acknowledge the driver with a nod and pick a door...
Will you sit with Marta, Miss Ereth, or beside the driver and nap through the ride?
