That's even more threatening than before.

So what does it mean to be a witch? I've met a lot of magic here but none of them used the word 'witch'.

[magike]

And yet you've heard the word before in stories, hmm?

[retrievalist]

Stories, yeah, but there are a handful of cultures across my world who practice witchcraft. It's not a new thing it's just it, you know. Wasn't real.

[magike]

And yet women have practiced magic for centuries despite the Trials and horrors that have tried to say they shouldn't.

Magic comes from nature. Being a witch means I harness that power, using it in spells or potions. That's all.

[retrievalist]

[ Wait. ]

Trials? As in, Salem Witch Trials?

[ What. ]

[magike]

Any of them, I suppose. I don't know those in Salem personally, but that history is awfully similar to Scotland's.

[retrievalist]

[ Personally? ]

You know, I've always been told never to ask a woman her age but maybe you'll forgive me for asking this time.

And maybe we should talk a little about the world you came from because we seem to have an awful lot of similarities.

[ AND ELIOT IS PRETTY SURE HE'D HAVE NOTICED THE MAGIC, THANKS. ]

[magike]

Would you prefer a drink while we did so, dear?

[retrievalist]

You know what? I think a drink would be a great idea.

[magike]

I'll be at our usual table when you're ready.
