Lily nodded with a friendly smile and sighed, waving a hand at the nearby window.  The rain was coming down in droves now, the faint rumbling of thunder clashing overhead.  She shrugged her lithe shoulders and gestured for Penny to follow her towards the back of the shop.<br/><br/>"The rain has been nothing but trouble lately.  I'm starting to think I should keep more towels near the front to help my poor customers get dry!  Well, at least most of them are customers.   Quite a few just come in to get out of the rain..."<br/><br/>Her airy voice trailed off as she squinted at the front door, as if half expecting the door to burst open with another couple seeking refuge from the rain.  When no one came in, her smile returned and she waved Penny onward.  They were soon standing outside of Jonas's weathered door and she rapped on it with her knuckles in quick succession before opening it.  There they found Jonas, the Tarot card reader, waiting for them.  He had picked up his worn cards and was shuffling them.  He looked up at Penny and gave her a timid smile, gesturing to the leather, high-backed chair in front of his table.<br/><br/>"Hello! Please, come in and sit down."<br/><br/>Lily ushered Penny into the room and then turned on her heels and closed the door behind her without another word, leaving the pair alone.  A soft silence crept into the room and Jonas dispelled it with another shuffling of his cards.<br/><br/>"So, uh, I'm Jonas.  What seems to be bothering you?"
