	People did like to talk during celebrations, Stormy couldn't argue with that. What good was an Ostara gathering where you couldn't share the joy with another person? A trick question, really. [color=1dd09e]"I'm sure that you mere mortals enjoy it. But, yes, the "eating people" thing does seem a little extreme, really. We'd probably know already if something like that were true."[/color] To say nothing of the fact that he heard they sacrificed newborns. Rumors usually didn't sit well with Stormy, especially when he was a witch. Over the years, he heard a lot of rumors about witches; that they were an evolutionary crisis, that they were signs of god's existence, threats to national security, the list went on. Whenever Stormy heard such rumors about witches, he typically went out of his way to discredit them and anyone who was considered a "source" on such supposed facts. His favorite "rumor" was the one where witches were the result of scientific experiments and that they owed their existence to the American military as a result. [i]That[/i] one made him laugh. A lot.

[color=1dd09e]"I think being in a cult would be a pretty bad thing, cannibalism or not. People only really enjoy being in a cult when they're on the inside. You'd be brainwashed among other things. A lot of humans think covens are cults, if I remember right."[/color] Stormy was mostly just following along with the conversation so Hanna wasn't talking non-stop for nothing. [color=1dd09e]"At least, I [i]hope[/i] most people don't like being in cults."[/color] That was a joke. Of course people don't like cults. Stormy cracked a grin when Hanna tried the brownie. [color=1dd09e]"Go ahead, help yourself to them. There's enough for everyone."[/color] Back when Stormy had first been introduced to Shipden, he was in an absolute mess. He hadn't eaten in days and was living out of a car that was probably only half a mile from running empty. He always enjoyed baking or cooking, and it was one of the first things he did when he had the chance. That was the emotional equivalent of peroxide on an infected wound for him, and it was even better that people actually liked the taste of what he made.

Oh, selfie time? Selfie time. Stormy tossed the now empty plate into the trash and leaned in beside Hanna and Kelly and smiled for the picture. It might've been just a touch difficult to actually see if he was smiling, seeing as he had an entire lion's mane draping down from his face, but he was smiling. And it was a genuine smile. The world outside this coven was often a nasty place. People hated witches, and wanted them dead and gone at every turn, but nights like this were a reminder that there wasn't a single witch on this earth who had to just lie down and die. They deserved a good life too, even if they had to struggle to get it.
