speed. Kit raised his eyebrows and went back into the kitchen with the plate.

 Duane, Diane - Young Wizards 06 - A Wizard Alone


He was spooning out rice when his dad came back in and began rooting around in the silverware drawer
in an aimless way that didnтАЩt fool Kit for a moment. тАЬSon,тАЭ he said, very quietly, тАЬis there really a
cooking channel, uh, тАШaboutтАЩ us?тАЭ

тАЬPop, thereтАЩs lots of them.тАЭ

His father looked shocked. тАЬBut how is something like that permitted*.тАЭ

Kit shrugged. тАЬYou go where you shouldnтАЩt go,тАЭ Kit said, and couldnтАЩt help grinning, тАЬyou find out stuff
you shouldnтАЩt find out. Like how you taste in a sweet-and-sour sauce with galingale. The universe is full
of little surprises.тАЭ

тАЬI always have the feeling that thereтАЩs a lot about this wizardry youтАЩre not telling me,тАЭ his father said.
тАЬSometimes it worries me. Then come times like this when IтАЩm horribly glad about my ignorance. Just
donтАЩt go places where you shouldnтАЩt go, okay?тАЭ

тАЬI try to avoid it,тАЭ Kit said. тАЬIs it okay with you if I go to Baldwin in the next couple of days, though?тАЭ

His pop looked surprised. тАЬBaldwin? No problem with that.тАЭ

тАЬThanks.тАЭ

Kit brought his plate into the living room, where he sat down on the floor and watched his mother
change channels one more time. тАЬWell, thatтАЩs pretty,тАЭ she said, sounding relieved.

Kit glanced up at the screen, chewing. тАЬUh, Mama,тАЭ he said, тАЬIтАЩm probably too young to be watching
anything that explicit.тАЭ

Her eyes widened. тАЬBut, honey, itтАЩs just a big cloud of gas, or smoke, orтАжтАЭ She stopped, her eyes
widening even more, then changed the channel six times in a row without stopping.

Kit grinned and turned his attention back to the chicken.




Investigations

CircusesтАФeven just the thought of themтАФhad always scared Nita when she was little. Later on, she had
felt that the fear was ridiculous. Circuses were supposed to be so much fun for small childrenтАФall the
sparkle, glitter, and noise, the processions of elephants parading along trunk-by-tail, the blare of brass
music, the daring acrobats and tumblers, the goofy clowns.
