Jabari found Isika in the pottery workshop, of all places. She was sitting at one of the wheels at the far end of the room, throwing a pot. It looked like a giant bowl, something you would use for water and floating flowers at a house entrance or in the palace. He went closer to see better. It didn"t matter, really, what she was making. Jabari knew she was trying to calm herself before the meeting they had set to create a plan.
But still, the meeting had started ten minutes ago.
He sat down carefully in a chair opposite the potter"s wheel. Isika ignored him until she had finished shaping the lip of the bowl. Then she sat back and stopped moving the pedal, letting the wheel spin slower and slower until it stopped. She finally looked at him after it ceased its spinning.
Jabari didn"t say
