[That... could mean any number of things.]

What are you, then? Naturally.

[rosewitch]

[Naturally . . .]

I don't remember.

[It's the truth, albeit not a very clear one.]

I don't know the right words to use. [Angry? Lonely? Bitter? No, those are all too revealing.] Tired, I think.

[grunehexe]

Surely no one could fault a witch for being weary.

[Of so many things women who did not bear that title had to face.]

[rosewitch]

People will fault a witch for any number of things.

[Still. This is. Kind of nice to hear? Feels weird.]

I appreciate that you . . . understand what I mean, I suppose. [This means thank you-ish.]

[grunehexe]

It seems a grain upon the beach in comparison.

[To accusations of magic and devil worship and harlotry and the like, but. Still.]

Of course.

[rosewitch]

[That actually makes her laugh.]

It is. But witches are villains, so every little wrong thing about them stacks up in the public eye.

[grunehexe]

In a witch's world.

Thankfully, you have less to fear here. And if you feel more comfortable, you need not reveal that part of your nature.

[rosewitch]

I haven't to anyone else.

Will you tell?

[grunehexe]

Not if you would prefer me not to.

[rosewitch]

Not yet.

I would like people to know, someday. But it seems like a dream for now. That it wouldn't feel like asking for destruction.
