[ it's a beautiful winter's morning in mumblelocationmumble, America. snow is gently falling, and it's not even turning into snowmonsters. some of the gorillas are actually taking a break from rousting campers in order to have a lie-in themselves and, perhaps, enjoy the quiet

[There's a shriek when my can of milk tea crunches and liquid explodes]

[stillyouridol]

...And that means...?

[runstowardsfire]

It's a position and people usually just see the hat.

[stillyouridol]

Maybe you need to spruce up your hat! A nice ribbon would look good.

[runstowardsfire]

That's not actually what I meant . . . A witch stands apart and I do not bow to the Baron--not because I think I am better but because I am the witch.

[stillyouridol]

Politics?

[runstowardsfire]

Power and respect. I have no interest in titles, but the power is there to protect my home.

[stillyouridol]

Well if you have the power, isn't that a title? Whether you want it or not...

[runstowardsfire]

I worked for my magic--it did not come to me by birthright.

[stillyouridol]

So? I don't think that really changes it.

[runstowardsfire]

I can't really complain when I'm the one that wanted to be a witch.

[stillyouridol]

What does any of this have to do with you being cute or not?

[runstowardsfire]

A very small part of why I wanted to be a witch was probably because the cute ones were the princesses in the stories and pretty much useless.

I was nine, but age doesn't really excuse that sort of thinking.

[stillyouridol]

...You didn't think you were cute all the way back at nine? And you can be cute and useful. [Hmph. Points to MYSELF for example!]

[runstowardsfire]

[Must. Not. Laugh.]

I think I might have been overly influenced by storybooks with blond princesses.

[stillyouridol]

...Why didn't you just re-imagine them how you wanted them to look?
