He's awake.

Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to stay free? I won't take kindly to you barring me in this cell, Mundane. Even if you were to let me roam in a game - as you call it - that wouldn't be the same as being in my castle with my family.

Reconsider your decision before I become angry.

[That brings a faintly sad smile.]

Mm, I understand. Things were... alright until my mundane decided a game would be a good idea.

[She sighs.]

I felt like I had actually reached an understanding with Edgar even.

[ahowlingheart]

Did he follow you? [Something about her tone says no.] I don't know what I would do without Sophie. [He knows he wouldn't be happy.] Not to mention my apprentice, Markl. Even the Witch of the Waste would be missed eventually.

[theoldways]

Oh no, he didn't. I think things would just be more complicated if he did.

That's quite a list.

[ahowlingheart]

But you miss him, don't you? [A small, knowing smile.] My family has grown.

[theoldways]

As a friend, of course.

[Emphasis there, just for her own peace of mind.]

It sounds like it. Your heart is definitely getting a workout!
