Athena and Dawn were in the middle of conversation as the former was giving the latter a tarot reading at their usual lunch table, when Karyn approached them.
"So I'm thinking," Karyn heard Dawn say as she approached, "what if I'm supposed to be this Max person."
A wire short-circuited in Karyn's brain at the mention of her pre-wish brother's name, but she kept up her poker face as she sat down. "So what are you two up to?"
Dawn and Athena's poker faces were not nearly as good. "Nothing!" Athena cried as she shuffled up the cards already on the table.
Karyn was unconvinced. As she joined the younger girls in conversation, in the back of her head her gears were turning. How did Dawn know who Max was? Athena was into magic, did she know more than she was letting on? Should Karyn tell them more?
No, she'd wait until she spoke to Zoe again. For now she'd just keep an eye on these two, make sure they don't get into even deeper problems than they were already stuck in.
