Chéri took a long breath and commented “but would that be something the witch would enjoy? And if yes, why those children, not the previous ones? What do they have that’s special? I don’t know. I feel like she might want to get rid of them.” Chéri theorised.

Chéri laughed and nodded “Oh, I understand that. It sounds beautiful!” He confirmed. Chéri also finished his wine, in an odd form of imitation of his ew friend. “I don’t know. Do you think the witch wants to teach someone?” Chéri asked, pressing his lips together. “Is that the beginning of an enterprise?” Chéri laughed and shook his head, doubtful.

Chéri sighed and nodded. He had’t been entertained in a while. It had always been the other way around and it was refreshing to not have to put any effort in their interaction with another human. Plus, they felt safe here. No one who might have been looking for him might think of searching for him here.
