Adele nodded, taking deep, slow breaths, trying to calm herself, not trusting herself to speak again just yet, waiting for the momentary hysteria to pass, trembling a little as she looked at Vito's silent form.

Viola checked on monsieur Vito once morebefore she said:
"He is fine."
She then looked at Adele who may have calmed down a little.
"What happened exactly? How did he found out? It tasted strange?"
Viola continued speaking since she wondered if Adele was still traumatized by what happened and may not want to speak about it.
"I wondered if we could pretend to have captured both of you after forcing you to put that thing in his tea? Then feeling some remorse since you gave us such kind hospitality, we decided to leave you two alone? You could tell that story to monsieur Vito? Or like I said, maybe the son could calm him down?"

"I'm not sure... He didn't taste anything, but he didn't fall asleep either... I asked him if he was tired and he got suspicious and asked what was going on, and I couldn't think up a good lie..." Adele mumbles, not looking Viola in the eye as she explains. "I'm... not actually very good with potions... I might have messed up the mixture..."

Viola listened calmly to Adele before she said:
"Hum. You're no good with lies either. So it's no use trying to come up with some story then. We might as well continue with the truth and the hope that he will forgive you or the son will help you."
Viola gazed toward the door wondering when will Vanessa come back. She did wonder if finding and buying a cart in the village would be hard to do. Maybe nobody wanted to sell their own... But she continued speaking to Adele once more.
"Then what you do want to do now? We are still willing to help you, just tell us what you would prefer. I still think you should leave for a while. Monsieur Vito is already angry so you might as well take him away."

Vanessa looks quickly in the village and sees one cart on sale and she gets it before anyone else gets it. "Bene. Now time to get back to Viola and Adele." The witch says to herself as she drags the cart back to the home.

Viola looked at the old man once more, he still seemed alright... while Adele still seemed nervous.
"I think we could go hide in some place near just for some days, the time the soldiers will pass. If you knew some old house or shed, it could be well."
Viola then began to go outside.
"I'm going outside to see if my mother is coming back... I'll be back."
But in fact, Viola wanted to gaze into her orb to know more. Maybe with some time and calm, she could see something; if those soldiers would come, if monsieur Vito would refuse to stay hidden or if anything would happen to Adele, Vito or even her and Vanessa. Or maybe the son could come back...
She only had some slight feelings about the events or maybe it was even just fears so she really wanted to know with her orb. It would help them to know what to do. The glowing ball was so much more precise and she couldn't gaze into it since too long...
So she climbed down the stairs and went outside, beside the house to gaze into her orb while also keeping an eye on the door if Adele came out.

Adele nodded, taking a deep breath and then standing, having calmed herself. "Alright. I'll stay here and get some blankets and things ready... Even if he doesn't want me anymore, I need to make sure he's comfortable and safe, wherever it is you decide to take him." She followed Viola downstairs, turning to go to the guest room and look through the dressers and chests there, finding the items she thought that Vito would need.

Taking care that Adele could not see the glow of her orb by any window, Viola began to gaze into the crystal ball.
"As I thought…" murmured the white-haired seer while looking gravely into the orb.
What she saw only strenghtened her resolve to take the old man away for a time. He really was in danger… The soldiers really had something against him and wanted to hurt him as an example… Yet she suddenly sensed something else. More physical.
"Oh Mon Dieu, I failed to see this…"
Viola quickly hid her orb and ran to the bathroom. Once there she wondered what did Adele put in her tea. It didn’t seem like vitamins…
"This girl may be dangerous…"
Viola somehow had the feeling there was something in her tea when Adele presented it to her but she thought she was paranoid and wanted to see some good side for once…
"Careless… Now I know… I should always trust my feelings… I didn't need this… I hope Vanessa is alright…"
After a while she went out and went to see Adele. She was a little annoyed by what Adele gave her and wanted to tell her something but then she thought it would serve nothing. Adele probably didn't do it on purpose, as the maid said, she was bad with potions and she was already feeling bad enough right now. Yet if the soldiers came sooner than expected, Viola thought that Adele should greet them with some laxative tea…
"Are you done with the stuff?" asked the young woman, trying to hide her slight irritation before she asked while going toward the stairs:
"How is monsieur Vito doing?"

Adele bowed a little, turning from where she was filling a basket with a bottle of wine, bread, meats and cheeses, packing a picnic lunch instead of something more befitting a refugee. "I put him up onto the bed. He doesn't seem like he's going to wake up and I don't really want to move him too much until it's time to go. I did unpack some old furs and blankets and aired them out for the trip..." She bites her lip, thinking. "I was going to pack up the silver and other valuables, but I don't know if we'll have room for all of that..."

Viola stopped and listened to Adele. If Vito was well on the bed, then no need to go see him right now. As for the valuable...
"It will depends on what my mother comes back with. But maybe we could hide the valuables instead if there is no place?"
Then realizing she didn't really know what to do, Viola went toward Adele and asked her:
"Is there something I can do?"

"Not just yet, at least until your mother gets back with a cart" Adele bustled about, gathering up the household food supplies for the journey and adding them to the basket. She pauses, seeing Viola lacking anything else to do, and quickly tries to think of something to occupy her, since she clearly wants to help. "Well, if you like, you can gather up some clothes from the laundry for Vito and I. Or bottle up some herbs from the garden for me to use.

Having seen in her orb and noticed how Adele seemed clumsy with her herb brewings, Viola's face changed slightly at the thought the maid would bring those herbs to maybe poison monsieur Vito inadvertently. Not her since she would not take anything from Adele anymore and Vanessa would not either.
The seer wondered if she should tell the maid that she was clumsy with her herbs and that both her potions, even the one for Vito, were failures. Yet she didn't know how to tell her. And maybe it wasn't the time right now. The herbs could be useful, in the hands of someone more experienced and knowledgeable so they should bring them. They'll just have to supervise her.
"Fine. I'm going to pick up the herbs."
And the young girl turned and went to the garden after taking some bottles in the kitchen.
She already knew some herbs since she did remember she knew some from her old life, not much but it wasn't totally unknown to her and Vanessa had also showed her some so Viola was certain she was already better than Adele...

The ebony haired witch comes back and smiles. "Hey guys. I am back. I found a cart. Good thing it was the last one." She says out loud to see where they are. But then she sees Viola in the garden. She whistles to get Viola's attention.

Viola heard someone whistling as she was absorbed in picking up herbs. She turned around and noticed Vanessa was here with a cart so the young seer got up, brushed the sand from her hands and went toward her adoptive mother after picking a bottle with herbs in it. Once near Vanessa, she gave her a small smile.
"Maman. So you found a cart? Good."
She then added while showing the herb bottle.
"I'm picking up herbs for some herbal teas and such. But you must know Adele is dangerous with potions. So we have to keep and eye on her in case she poisons anyone. It's not her intention but she is a failure at brewing. Yet those can be useful."
After a moment Viola turned toward the house.
"Adele is inside, taking food and things. Monsieur Vito is still unconscious in his room."

Vanessa smiles. "Yeah I got lucky." She says to the seer and can't help but notice the herbs. She tries to ask but she listens to Viola.

Vanessa smiles. "Well remember I can teach her like I taught you. Its not hard to teach the process of herbs to brew them into potions. But a poison is not needed." The witch says to her adoptive daughter with a smile on her cheeks.
