Shard initially just wanted to have a casual chat with Miss Sylvia before returning to the party. After all, Mr. Benhart was still waiting for him, and he was also keen on getting more local news from the "Headland Bats".
However, once they started talking about their respective incomes, the conversation seemed to flow endlessly. Despite being a lady of high society and elegance, Miss Sylvia, just like Shard, was troubled by not having a stable and presentable income.
Both of them, being Circle Sorcerers, often had large amounts of unexpected income, but they both preferred the kind of very stable income that, although small each time, came regularly every week.
During their chat, Miss Sylvia once again confirmed Shard's visit to this city was for the "Lake Goddess", so the young Grand Witch proposed to do a divination for him. Although she wasn't a witch adept in divination, she did have some divination skills.
