Family Heirloom

Since most divination went astray, they had nothing else to discuss, and left the Theater. Veronica took another rejuvenating nap, then they cuddled throughout the night.

Neither of them had any inclination to have intimacy. The atmosphere felt wrong, but their spouse's closeness offered comfort.

Soon the next day arrived. Veronica made breakfast, like always, and after eating, they headed for Madam Deanna's house. Since it was Monday, they had a lesson today as well.

The old woman showed them no mercy. It was the exact opposite. Her mood seemed to shift from yesterday. She acted much more cruel and haughty, insulting both with every word.

The way she insulted was a true marvel. Even they had to acknowledge that. She made both of them feel awful without uttering a single curse word.

Her sharp tongue delivered extremely well-considered insults. Veronica began to think the woman's free time was largely dedicated to creating such remarks.
