[12:00]  Kutai has already laid a verr at the altar, he however has not killed it yet "aah there you are, this is our altar"
[12:03]  Kutai takes a bucket from under the altar, and places it near the to be killed verr. His eyes speed over the plains for a kajira to carry the bucket, but he sees none, all are probably doing chores "watch out lady, this will be a bit messy" saying this, he makes asmall incision in the verrs neck and sees how the blood streams out into the bucket, which he holds so that none is spilled at the ground"
[12:04]  Kata frowns thoughtfully from beneath the veil, craning her head over despite trying to stay away from the gore - however, she does not shy away from the sight.
[12:06]  Kutai sees that the lady is not afraid of the blood, which shows that she is worthy her caste. He takes the ritual quiva again and slices open the belly of the now death verr. He folds open the stomach and the intesties are visible for him now. His eyes see the liver, which he takes out carefully, and lays at the stone plate of the altar, the dead corps, he pushes in the grass. That could be taken away later wehn a kajira or kajirus was available to do that lowly task
[12:10]  Kata frowns thoughtfully, trying to look over the belly, the intestines, the stomach , the liver - trying to see if she can make out any of what he sees. Her lips purse from behind the veil, folding her hands again in front of her as she waits for him.
[12:13]  Kutai lays he liver next to the stone replica, with the sacred instruction how to read in the future. Instructions only learned at by haruspices and men of the white caste of the initiate. He studies the liver. He knows that instructions are not enough, maybe for cheap white caste members who make a living of cheating people with false omens. No he knows as high haruspex of the Tuchuk that a holy connection to the Open Sky is needed too"
[12:13]  Kata does not try to read the manual, merely waiting for his announcements. She fidgets, trying to restrain herself from asking what he sees. It would come in tim.
[12:15]  Kutai thinks about the womans words, he sees several paths. One path leads to slavery, certainly a path to be avoided, he sees new life too, the path he chooses must be safe for that too. He sees emptiness in the dark path and some red veins in the path of freedom.
[12:17]  Kata remaisn silent, waiting. She thought about her recent escape from the hold of steel, her concerns over the heat she has bruied, smothered, swallowe din robes. She reminds herself she has a core of steel - a Free Woman. Thoughts of intrigue, of power, of position....She sighs. Looking to him as he studies the liver.
[12:19]  Kutai combines reality and divine insights in his omens, he knows the woman was enslaved, her way shws temperament, a dangerous combination for free woman, who's slave fire once was lit. An companionship wuld be the best solution, and the livr does not speak against tha, because the red bllod veins are the sign of the warrior who wants her "the omen is positive for your companionship, Lady Kata"
[12:21]  Kata looks at him thoughtfully, then nods. "Thank you, Haruspex."
[12:22]  Kutai looks at her "i am glad I could be off help, in case of a companionship, an omen reading is not a bad thing to do"
[12:23]  Kata managed a weak smile, before nodding. "Indeed. You have my gratittude. I will seek you out again, if I have such pressing matters."
