FIGHTING COUNTDOWN | un: absterge

[downswing]

Vanessa.

[matermali]

Yes?

[downswing]

Your... skill. Of what ilk?

[matermali]

Why?

[downswing]

Another witch has surfaced.

[matermali]

[ Damnit she isn't a witch! But she'd rather get answers than argue. ]

Who?

[downswing]

Styled Wanda. Perhaps companionship.

[matermali]

Miss Maximoff. We have met.

Why the interest?

[ Not only trying to make friends for Vanessa out of the blue, right? Suspicious. ]

[downswing]

She lacks coven.

[matermali]

And you encourage one? Are witches and their covens not a source of fear and hatred where you come from?

1/2

[downswing]

They largely absent.

[downswing]

Are covens not family?

[matermali]

I have only known one coven. They called one another sister, but would cut out their kin's heart if their master wished.

I am not a witch. My skills, if you want to call them so, are of a different ilk.

[downswing]

What nature?

[matermali]

I have never known another like me. I would not know what to name it.

[ A lie. Maybe she'd like to re-name it. ]

But there is a kinship with Miss Maximoff I will not deny. I am only surprised that you would care to nurture such friendships for others. It is a pleasant surprise, mind you.
