[There is a teenage girl knocking at your door. Yes your door.....unless you are Teatime. She's wearing a witches hat and carrying a bag in her hands.]

[[Theta opens the door and frowns quietly.]]

...Can I help you?

[Have a nod and a smile.]

Hello, my name's Tiffany Aching. I was just stopping by to see how people were doing after the attack.

That's very sweet of you, Miss Aching. ...Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?

[[Warning! She drinks Lapsang Souchong, which smells of wet fireplace and stale cigarettes.]]

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

That would be very nice thank you.

[Free tea, is free tea. Witches live on handouts.]

[[Theta moves out of the doorway so she can come inside, and indicates the couch.]]

Have a seat, I'll make tea. Tell me about yourself? It's a very responsible thing, what you're doing...are you what you appear to be?

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

A witch? Yes, I'm the local witch in my village on the Discworld. We normally go around to see how people are doing.

[[Theta had been referring to Tiffany's age, but she doesn't press it. She brings out a teapot, which upon being set on the coffee table begins to wander around the table. She goes back to make a second trip for cups.]]

That's very kind of you. We're mostly all right here, though I think my 'children' may be a bit more shaken than I am.

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

[Oh well. She doesn't question the teapot.]

We're any of you injured?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

My assigned 'son' was hurt very badly...it was all we could do to bring him back, really. [[She sighs, but she's confident he'll be all right.]]

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

How is he now?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Locked in his room, and probably smoking.

His choice, not mine.

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

And his injuries?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Would you like to go up and check on him?

[[Haven't checked with the mun since confirming his injuries. ^^;;]]

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

I would. I might be able to help with them.
