Post Thirty Four: ...Goodbye

[the_wee_big_hag]

[She found Sophie smile a little too fixed on then normal. Which while odd, wasn't utterly disturbing. After all droning's happened. Still she looked for her things just to make sure.

.....they were gone.

Oh. ....she knew it was always a possibility. But Sophie had always been here. She'd been here before Tiffany arrived and she'd never left. Knowing

[ Ilsa is fascinated by the ambulatory dairy product, and only catches sight of Tiffany after the cheese dashes back to her. ]

Hey. Heard your phone call this morning. Was she a good friend of yours?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Yes.

[Horace meanwhile is chasing another squirrel.]

She was my mother here actually. For over two years now.

[ooeeooahah]

I'm sorry to hear that. [ Ilsa touches Tiffany's shoulder lightly. ] Do you have someone else aware in the house with you?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Yes. England and Tavros are still there.

[ooeeooahah]

That's good, you have someone to help keep you grounded. [ Ilsa tilts her head, remembering that Tiffany has a riding broom. ] So to speak.

That doesn't make it much easier, does it?

[the_wee_big_hag]

No. Sadly not.

[ooeeooahah]

Can you tell me about her?

[the_wee_big_hag]

She was a witch. Her name was Sophie and she used to work in a hat shop. She told me about her world, and it wasn't like this, or mine. Another one of those random worlds.

And she had a husband named Howl who was a wizard. And she did her magic by talking to things and they'd do what she wanted them to. She was here before I came here. ...before England too I think.

She always cleaned when she was worried.

[ooeeooahah]

She sounds like a subtle worker. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet her. Always a good idea to learn about other methods, even if they don't work for you.

[the_wee_big_hag]

[She nods.]

Yes, it's interesting.

[ooeeooahah]

How are your studies going? Any new ideas about what's holding us here?

[the_wee_big_hag]

At the moment? No not really. I'm getting back into school work at the moment. So I'm mostly trying to remember math and science.

[ooeeooahah]

Those can be useful. Especially as you are learning the precepts from another perspective.

[ ilsa shrugs. ] I learned math and science along with magic and caring for a city, so for me they work together.

[the_wee_big_hag]

We didn't have school at home. Besides, math can be useful sometimes, but science is complete nonsense and I don't see when I'll ever need to know about imaginary numbers.

[ooeeooahah]

Hm, I have used statistics to help form some of my work, and science is the basis of my medical background. Maybe seeing the practical application would help?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Possibly?
