[color=ed1c24]"Very well,"[/color] Novak replied.  "[color=ed1c24]I will to return here tomorrow night as instructed."[/color]  Now that there was [i]definitely[/i] nothing left to do, he turned and exited the house.

Thanks to this white-haired girl, they now had a possible lead that he did not anticipate- a petition with the goddess of death.  Would she actually reply, though?  The Yaga certainly didn't think so, and Novak couldn't fault her logic.  Why would a deity intervene in a petty matter like this?  And if they did, would they do so in such an open manner, or would they resort to machinations too subtle for mortals to notice?

Regardless, Novak wasn't going to stop in his efforts.  It might be wise to avoid doing anything that could sabotage or interfere with the performance of the Yaga's ritual, but there was still more about this situation to learn, and more about the obstacles to assess.

Novak wouldn't wait outside for the girl whom he presumed was Lissa to exit the witch's house.  He would need to get going, and it might be safer if they moved separately.  Whatever questions he had could wait until after they were back in the town.
