You don't have to worry about sounding odd. You just have to sound like me.

A lot of things are.

[doesntmiss]

True. You pay close attention, don't you?

[saneasme]

How can you find wrackspurts if you don't look for them?

[doesntmiss]

No idea.

[saneasme]

I suppose they could find you first. But you might miss them, that way.

[doesntmiss]

And that wouldn't go well, huh.

[saneasme]

They make you dizzy and floaty during parties. So you wouldn't be able to keep track of them.

[doesntmiss]

Sounds a bit tricky. How's your mun doing on the paying attention part?

[saneasme]

The important things are hard to find.

[doesntmiss]

Think she can do it?

[saneasme]

She did once before.

[doesntmiss]

Then chances should be good, right?

[saneasme]

I think so. She doesn't.

[doesntmiss]

Guess I'm not the best judge of it, but if you sound like you, I'd say it's fine.

[saneasme]

Do you ever not sound like you?

[doesntmiss]

... [Ouch. Uhm. Well.]

I did once.

[saneasme]

Voices are tricky. Sometimes they wander off, but they usually come back.

[doesntmiss]

[Breathe. Come on. What's the world coming to that a little witch girl can make you jumpy like that? Yes, okay, breathing. Bit calmer now.]

Yeah? I never knew they wandered off.

[saneasme]

They do. Or they get stolen. It's all because of the Witclaws.

[doesntmiss]

Never heard of 'em. What are they?

[saneasme]

Small insects. They take your words away before you can say them, then they all spill out the next day.

[doesntmiss]

Oh, those. Yeah I think we've all met 'em.

[saneasme]

Oh! Have you seen them? Daddy could always use more evidence for his articles!

[doesntmiss]

No, I haven't. I just know what that feels like, your wit walking out on you like that.

[saneasme]

They're really there. But most people don't see them.
