Teh hand twitched and burned brighter. The woman spoke "You may not beleive in true magic, child, but it beleives in you. It is a rare gift in today's world."

Wisgoth nodded sagely. "I know many former calssmates of mine who would kill to be in your shoes. And they would handle it better. Remind me, when this is over, to teach you not to touch things you don't understand."
Claire hopped onto the bookshelf, to get a better vantage point.

"Less talk," Angelo said tersely, "More making sure Lee is okay." he was getting annoyed at the lectures he was recieving. these people didnt seem to understand he knew NOTHING about magic.

She chuckled "So impatient..." then the hand twitched one last time and fell into ash and skeletal remains. "There. Wisgoth, tell Lee to go home when she wakes up, she won't be able to do any type of magic for awhile..."
Thta said, she blew out teh candle, scattered th ashes...closed her eyes and slumped back.

Wisgoth nodded. He looked at the ashes of the Hand of Glory and sighed.
"Next time, I'm refusing to do trades. I guess I'd better dispose of this myself. Unless you'd like it to have some to remind yourself not to act incautiously." Wisoth said, not really expecting Angelo to like that.
But Wisgoth didn't like having black magic done in his shop either.
"I will show you where she stays. Child, whateer your name is, please check on my assistant Argon. Claire will show you where he is." Wisgoth said, adressing Angelo and Riva n turn.

Lee's body had slumped back, and Angelo had caught her. she was light in his arms, despite the fact that he was not a particularly strong man. he found it ever so natural to scoop her up in his arms. he almost cried thinking what he had almost done to her.... the thought never entered his head that he would be miserable as well.

Argon took that moment to stick his head out of teh back room "Hey Wisgoth, you've gat a catamite back here and it's hungry...ummm...what did I miss?"

Wisgoth gave his assistant a mild look. then his face broke into a wide smile and he laughed.
"Have miss. . .her," Wisgoth pointed at Riva, "help you give it some of the boomslang pellets in the box with the big 'W' on on it. I'm going to be paying a call to the sanctuary. Watch the shop, and I'll catch you up later."
Riva went to help the assitant. Wisgoth motioned to Angelo. "Follow me. I'm sure Lee would be alright with me showing you her home, considering hte circumstances."
Wisgoth grabbed Lee's hats and the table and led Angelo out the shop to the old train tracks.

Angelo followed without a word. when he got to the old train tracks he said, "You know, I could take her to my place. its cleaner than this, and I can sleep on the couch."

Agon blinked and watched Wisgoth with writer and Lee in tow, leave. He blinked. "...right. ooookay. Ummm...hi ma'am, can you help me hold this critter?"
He held forth eth catamite, which was a six legged goblinoid cat..thing...with gills.

Rivea looked from the creature to her fancy tea dress. She smiled mischeiviously. "Yes, I think I could."
Riva took the creature and went to the back room with Argon.
----
Wisgoth gave Angelo a small smile.
"I'm sure she would appreciate the sentment, but she will need to wake up in her own space. She will be less disoriented." Wisgoth said, no longer as angry with Angelo.
Wisgoth weaved through the abandoned box cars. He found hte one he was looking for.
"This is her home. If you want to stay, I recomend it. But remember, Lee retreated into her mind. She might not know exactly what went on. Don't push too much information on her."
Wisgoth showed Angelo where Lee slept. He knew the place by the magical itemas around it. For protection, mostly.

Wisgoth left to make sure his shop was still standing. He set the hats on a table, and added a couple coins of his own. He'd hardly ever seen magic done like that.
---
Riva was sure her aunt was going to skin her alive for what was happening to her dress, but for the moment,s he was having fun feeding the catamite.

Lee's home was curiously clean, and seemed ot be brighter than any old traincar had a right to be. Strings of beads and ribbons hung in random bunches, a clean bed, probably from the salvation army, a battered dresser. The bed itself was piled with well worn quilts.
Aftre a few minutes of resting in her own bed, Lee blinked awake, and stared at the ceiling. "Shit! I'm late!"
*********
Wisgoth happily handed teh goblin over to eRiva and walked back into eth store room "Now I know that box is in here...maybe under the crates here...."

"Relax," Angelo said. he pressed against her shoulders and laid her back. "you're okay."
