Prompts = Visitor, Stool, Hermit
Bloomfield the Obscure watched his young visitor squirm on the uncomfortably hard stool, awkwardly holding his only tea cup, chipped, full of hot tea; alchemists have no desire for luxury nor need of materials used for entertaining guests.
Still to be determined was how and why this one was here. Half-remembered manners had kept him from asking. But with a hot beverage served, questions could commence. Bloomfield asked the why.
‘I’m your new apprentice.’
‘Don’t want one, don’t need one.’
‘But I replied to the advertisement in Hermit Quarterly.’
‘Hermit? Stay on the path, third cave on the right.’
