Night Market

The second time that Zane met Calix was the night of the next day. The night markets in Amherst College were very famous for having a bit of everything. Zane had posted a request for some cobra lily root and someone had responded and said that he could come over by 8 pm to collect it at the stall beside the water fountain.

After his paper was published, the invitation that he had been getting for clubs had spiked a great deal; he had spent the whole afternoon chatting with Mrs Ossi, his introduction to Alchemy lecturer. His classmates had surrounded him and they had a lot of things to ask him. It was a little difficult for him to separate from them and headed to the Night market.

He had been as incognito as possible, wearing dark clothing and a black face. He swiped his card when he heard a voice, "Zane. Hello again."

Zane's lips twitched, he was really stalking his online movements, he turned back with a faint smile, "Calix. How are you doing?"
