[ Here is a sweet, smiling face, accented with deep red lips and framed with uneven layers of thick, dark hair. Atropa looks confident and almost friendly.

Almost. ]

You know, let's just calm down for a moment.

I'm happy that you like me. Of course you like me, how could you not? I'm the most interesting person I've ever met.

Except for the vampire, of course. The plans you have where he's concerned are very appealing, don't mistake me.

[ She tilts her head, lips thinning a little. Her violet eyes darken, creating a stark contrast against her pale skin. ]

But your plans for how it ends? That needs to change. Your promise of reincarnation means little when you intend my death to poison all that I believe in. I'll return, but I won't be the same.

You'll regret that. I'll make you regret that. You of all people should know not to underestimate me.

[ Suddenly, that cute little smile is back. ]

Do consider it, won't you?

Oh, it's hilarious. Deception always is, and people hate it so much when they discover the truth. That's funny, too.

Well they can either hate it, or they can panic. Either way it is very hilarious.

You experience this often, do you?

Every now and then. There's also the people who are a bit more open minded.

Mmm. I tend to find that it's none of their business, either way. Open minds can quickly lead to greedy minds, you know.

Everyone and everything has a greedy mind.

[ Sweetly. ] Even you?

Especially me. [Says it with a smile.]

How interesting. You’ll tell me that but not your name. You’re a curious boy.

Is it? I don't believe that it reveals all too much.

It reveals that you’re unusual, that you’re not quite ordinary. In some ways that’s more identifying than a name.

Thought you would have been able to figure that out from the get go. What's your thing with magic anyway?

My ‘thing’ with magic? [ A sly smile, watching him with interest. ] Everyone has their interests. Perhaps that’s mine.

Well you have a rather strange interest then.

[ She quirks an eyebrow at him, looking amused. ]

Why do you say so? You're the last person who ought to find it strange. You're one of the few who knows there's more to the world than meets the eye.

Yes, but most don't come out and say that they believe in magic anymore. Or at least not right off the bat. And I suppose that you are also able to use it.

Hmmm. [ She twirls her necklace idly between her fingers. ] And what if I can? Would that please you?

I wouldn't think much of it, honestly. Just so long as you don't use it in public.

[ Oh, now that does make her laugh. ]

Oh, darling. Are you afraid of being discovered? A little charm to the memory solves that problem quite nicely, or so I've heard.

Perhaps, but the secret world still must stay secret.

Must it. [ It's not a question. Her tone is clipped, not so light and easy as before. ] Tell me why that is. Why must we stay hidden? Think of all we could achieve if instead of hiding from them, we took our place above them. How much easier would it be for you then?

The ruled do not complain of they detect no ruler. It's why monarchies and dictatorships fail. It's why witches are hunted and persecuted. You can have all da powerz, but even a god cannot stop an army of agroed mortals. How much easier would it be to rule detected instead of undetected?

I taught Loki and the followers of Aten that.

Loki. [ Atropa’s lip curls upwards, showing exactly what she thinks about gods. ] I have no interest in the Norse heresies. Gods and monsters have no place in the mortal realm, it is not their world. It is our world.

And I’m not a witch. [ She smiles. ] Nor would I allow myself to be persecuted by those who hate them.

And yet they exist.

I wasn't calling you a witch though.

And I didn’t say that I don’t believe in your gods.

[ She hums for a moment, considering him. Her smile hasn’t gone away. ]

I’m sure they exist, just as witches do – but I don’t worship witches, either. Just because they’re there does not mean they have the right to power.
