Precaution? Fear? Alexis didn’t really know. But when Callie went upstairs she reached out towards the orb. She guessed the orb must be a magical construct similar, if not of the same kind, like her dream wisp. She grabbed it in her fingers and channeled some energy off. Enough so she didn’t feel entirely powerless. Yet she left plenty there so the orb would remain bright and not get destabilized. The energy she leeched off felt weird and eerie. It had a familiar sensation to it but she couldn’t quite word it. Not that she would, she had no intention to tell Callie she took some power. At best it would be considered rude, at worst… well she couldn’t really imagine what the worst would be.

Alexis just nodded as Callie told her about the little girl and the pup upstairs. It certainly made her feel safer as well. If someone trusted the witch enough to let their child sleep there, then what harm could she really do? Then again, the man may not know Callie was a witch. The fact that she called herself a White Witch helped too. Even if it was just a title to Alexis. The only thing that did make her worry was when Callie called the Inn the safest place in the area. It wasn’t that she was there that bothered her but the fact that some place had to be safe. She wanted to ask but instead got a kitten dropped on her lap. The girl often played with her own kitten, Sabbath. But Tigre looked so different from the black cat.

As Callie left the room, Alexis couldn’t really help herself. She booped Tigre’s nose and played a little with the aptly named little cat. She even whispered: [color=9e0b0f]“So you’re a witch’s cat too huhn? Maybe you and Sabbath could play sometime?”[/color] Again, Alexis didn’t really expect Tigre to answer. But the girl always felt safer to talk to things or animals. Mostly because they wouldn’t say anything back. It was like talking to herself, instead of not to really to herself. When Callie returned from the kitchen with the warm chocolate milk, Alexis lowered Tigre back on her lap and took the mug with a smile. Right now all sense of precaution was out the door. This woman trusted her enough to let her play with her kitty and leave her alone in her house.

Ley lines? She remembered reading an article about it a few years ago. She thought they were something of magnetic lines across the globe of some sorts.  Not in a thousand years did she think of studying them. Yet druids in Europe claimed many of their stone circles and other formations were built along them. Right then she wanted nothing more than to grab her book and ask it about the ley lines. But she knew better. Such a thing would be positively rude. Now she needed to answer Callie: [color=9e0b0f]“I-I…“[/color] Off on a flying start. [color=9e0b0f]“Nobody ever really… told me about ley lines. So… I’m guessing I don’t really have a talent for it.”[/color] She rubbed her hands on her cup and stared down into it. A bit ashamed. To Callie not knowing ley lines must be like not knowing how to write!

Maybe she should start with how she got here? But that was a long story, with plenty of questions. Yet, here they were, with a hot chocolate in the hands. Probably with enough time to at least give her something basic? Looking up at Callie she started her story: [color=9e0b0f]“I actually had a dream this night. I mean, it wasn’t a dream. I think. It was probably more like.. a vision? I was floating over Klamath and everything was really dark but the sky was really bright and-“[/color] then she remembered the amber dot. [color=9e0b0f]“-I think I saw you? Not, you, I mean I saw an amber dot moving at the Inn. But now I’m guessing it was you?”[/color] By this point, uncertainty was pouring out of the girl. She couldn’t really help it but her gaze fell down and looked at the cup between her hands again. [color=9e0b0f]“Then I saw a silver light in the woods. It moved so fast. So straight. Until it reached some place. I don’t know what but it just went… crazy.”[/color] Why did she use the word crazy? Now Callie was going to think she was! [color=9e0b0f]“I mean, it just jumped left and right and up and down and everywhere it stayed for longer than a second another dim silvery light appeared and…”[/color] she looked up back up at Callie. [color=9e0b0f]“Are there other… things? In the night?”[/color] The question came from a sentence she remembered from the book: Children of the moon fear the pale witches.[/center]
