[England has given her an idea and so there is another sign set up outside the house with a sign that reads

-Help with problems
-Midwifery
-General witching

Tiffany is sitting on the lawn with her pointed hat on as she reads a book. It appears to be a history text book and she's making notes in a notebook to the side.]

The people, I suppose.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She nodds]

And you represent them and the land....

[Looks over]

Can you tell me about your history then?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Anything in particular?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what. I've only just started to flip through. It has a lot of history.

[Looks thoughtfull as she flips through the book. There are a few pictures here and there. She stops at another Kings picture]

Were you always ruled by Kings?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, I was tossed around a bit when I was a child. But the idea of a monarchy was very strong back then and all that.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I see.

At home we just have the Baron. But we're a very small place.

...

Did you have witches?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

...

That's not a good question to ask.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Why?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It just isn't.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

And why is that.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I don't need to explain myself.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Well I suppose I'll just have to find out myself.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Disappointing.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

What?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You never do as I say.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Really, because I seem to remember differently.

Now, why won't you tell me?

I thought you said you had magic in your world.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Always with the arguing, as if you know better. Don't you understand?

Why won't you just listen to me.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Because I want to know why!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'm trying, America, but you're not bloody helping.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Just...starering at him for a moment...then in a quiet voice]

....

England.

I'm not America.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... I'm going inside to rest.

Don't disturb me.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Alright....

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... Sorry.

Didn't mean to yell.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....it's alright.

I didn't mean to get you so angry.

[And now she's even more curious, and not just about the witches]

...are you alright England?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I have to be.
