They stayed the night. The seer insisted to accommodate them in her wide tent. They slept on the barren floor - brown sand and pointy pebbles. At least they had their cushioned comforters of one inch thick that would meekly cover the ragged ground.
The Seer had a thick colorful cushioned bed, draped with cloth-like plastic, the fine kind that High-classers had. She had a lot of fine silky tunics, antiquities such as Jars and pots, and even wooden sculptures. They cost a fortune as Lance estimated. These antiques, especially the large wooden sculpture would cost about 1500 units. That's a fortune for many.
She had this one long upright rectangular block of perfectly edged wood, made of Hardened Tugas beside her bed. Even though the wood sculpture had no designs, however, what made it beautiful was the definition of brown-shade colored rings bending perfectly like waves along its surface.
