Organon's Crystal Ball

A hand-sized, opaque orb of polished quartz, resting in a shallow bronze stand worn smooth by handling. The Doctor retrieves it from his coat as casually as unfolding a map, its cool surface catching the throne room’s blue torchlight. Organon’s fingers tighten when offered a glimpse; Huntsman recoils slightly, interpreting its milky depths as harboring futures far heavier than parchment deals.
