Purple Summers was taken aback...
She didn't know Jane McCain as well as she knew Zara Jameson but she did have some gist. Nevertheless, it struck her as unbelievable that Jane could swallow such unclean water.
The ash from the burned yellow paper was mainly carbon, which didn't really matter if ingested, but drinking too much of the cinnabar used for drawing symbols could lead to lead poisoning.
Of course, even if poisoned, the dose was hardly fatal; diarrhoea at worst.
As Purple dazedly blanked out, the sorceress asked again, "To divine or to ask a question?"
She gathered herself and sat up straight, "Ask a question."
She paid by card for a fixed price.
"How can I see a ghost?" Purple asked.
Jane was stunned, turning to Purple in surprise - she hadn't expected this question at all!
