"S'pose so. We should name it, anyway, That One Game With The Blessing Coins is kind of a mouthful."

"I have no suggestions."

"My only idea is terrible, and since Loel isn't here maybe nobody will badger me into saying it anyway."

"As long as you don't mention it again once he's back, you're safe."

"Not that the rest of us aren't curious."

"Insofar as it's possible to do so without insulting Patience, I second her assessment of the idea."

"Then it seems we will have to do without it. 'That One Game With The Blessing Coins' remains our top contender."

"Trading Post. Blessing Bowls. Everybody Tries To Trade For Flexibility Because It's In Half The Sets."

"And intelligence, clarity, imagination, and power have two appearances each. An interesting selection we are."

"I have all duplicate blessings. You'll be able to make a Kiri set out of leftovers," snorts Kiri.

"I brought bowls!" announces Loel from the door. He enters, bearing a stack of bowls.

"Hurray for bowls. Anything else we need to figure out before we start trying to play - I think I like Blessing Bowls best of Aleko's ideas?"

"Not bad," says Loel. "I think we've covered everything."

"Who starts?" inquires Ekador. "And in what order do we proceed?"

"For no particular reason except that I am the first person to try to come up with an answer to that question I shall go first and I'm gonna arbitrarily say that we go widdershins from there."

"Very well."

Aleko starts trying to pour equal quantities of coins into each bowl.

Sarelle picks up the poured bowls to judge their weight, and occasionally shifts a few coins from one bowl to another.

And then there are bowls to pass out.

"I have a grace, so as near as I can tell pouring helped randomize," reports Kiri.

Sarelle laughs.

"Well, that was entertaining."

"Yeah. First set of Blessing Bowls: The Game Serlasts Can't Automatically Cheat At, success."
