I'm a witchfinder at home. The rest of the witchfinder corps hates my guts. So it's a pretty familiar idea, you know, 'all the alliances are made and you're not in any of them.' That's all.

[shortforever]

[Wow]

Why do they hate you? And is a witchfinder what it sounds like it would be?

[antichthonia]

Because they think I'm a witch. And yeah, it's about what it sounds like.

[shortforever]

Aren't witches old ladies?

[Implying Gabriel is neither.]

[antichthonia]

[blinks]

Since when? It just means a magician who hurts people. Or a magician without a license.

[shortforever]

No, like, magicians can be boys or girls sure. But witches are always old ladies. If it's an old man then it's a wizard.

[A pause.]

Or that's what it's like in movies and books and stuff.

[antichthonia]

Okay. Well.

Guess the word's different in my world.

[shortforever]

Guess so. And I guess you really do belong to the team of outcasts then.

[antichthonia]

It's not so bad if you have one or two good people, right?

It took me years and years to finally get a decent hunting partner. I just want to get back to her.

[Wow, something about those words really bugs Odin!]

I guess having a couple good people works. 's better than the alternative.

[antichthonia]

She's gonna think I'm dead until I get back.

[shortforever]

Well that'll be a nice surprise for her when you make it back.

[antichthonia]

Provided she hasn't gone completely off the deep end in the meantime.
