Interactive Religion [Tuesday, February 5]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop for class it had been rearranged again--this time in series of cavernous rooms full of heavy furniture.

"Welcome to Afghanistan," Biff said with a smile. "Home of Balthazar, one of the creepiest magi ever. My friend Josh and I came here a couple thousand years ago to learn about the Tao. Well, Josh learned about the Tao. I learned about feng shui, which is dependent on something called qi, and then the rest of it I ignored because I was being taught by beautiful Chinese concubines and I got distracted easily."

He pointed at a series of small brass scales on a nearby table. "What I do know is that the qi in all of those rooms is totally screwed up. You take these brass scales and someone who looks good at lifting heavy objects and start moving things around until the qi is balanced again. When the little brass scales balance, you've completed the task."

Biff, it might be a little obvious, didn't really hold a lot of stock in the idea of feng shui. He just wanted them to move furniture around for an hour.

Seely tilted his head to the side and thought about it. "Not that I remember."

Aravis nodded emphatically.

Seely grinned. "You have any particular reason for pointing that out?"

"It just seems very obvious at the moment."

"Hmm, wonder why?"

"Because of the lifting. And you don't have sleeves."

"You're right," Seely agreed, grinning. "I don't."

"You should not have sleeves a lot," she decided.

Seely's grin got a little broader. "But then I might get cold."

"Maybe someone could keep you warm."

"I don't know," Seely said. "Seems like a very personal thing that."

"I'm sure that someone could be stoic and manage it."

"But where could I find someone like that."

"But he's all fuzzy and warm to cuddle."

"But I'm warmer. And prettier."

"You are less fuzzy," Seely agreed.
