[color=lightblue]"It looks like you've been befuddled by a Witch's doll right now, if we are talking looks at the moment Ghost."[/color]

The mercenary got a laugh out of the doll sticking its tongue out at the family mage, as childish as the gesture was it did add some slight humanity to the whole situation. Granted, Urden wasn't going to be forgetting the slaughter doll any time soon, so no doubt the small one had plenty of nasty tricks up its sleeves if push came to shove as well, so maybe it was for the best that the small doll be in hands that it seemed happier to be in. Handy was more fitting than before, it seemed, though Liletta was certainly not happy with the circumstances of getting snubbed by the smaller doll, so he lingered until they got too deep into the weeds in regards to magical nonsense talk.

[color=lightblue]"If its any consolation, pretty much every doll has been some kind of difficult. Thinking about it, you could probably talk Boss into tagging along and doing some field research and not have to pick through first hand accounts and souvenirs that we picked up along the way. Besides, if I was a gambling man I would wager we'll run into either that Witch or other ones, given the way we sort of just stumbled into the Doll Witch."[/color]

Urden was wearing an easy smirk, enjoying the free entertainment being provided, even if it was at the expense of Liletta. He wasn't completely joking about petitioning Boss to tag along though, Liletta wouldn't be a retainer if she was only useful in bookish studies. Any magic could be turned to warfare with a bit of creativity, and it would certainly make their lives easier. Also in consideration was, at the current point in time, Handy was not exactly the most stable nor sensible mage he had ever crossed paths with, and he had a hunch Ghost was going to be a far more stable individual in that regard, even if the prowess was a fraction of Handy's. Put the two at a problem and it might get solved rather swiftly. Or Ghost would tear her hear out, he wasn't sure how well mages worked together. Still, was worth mentioning, plus he could continue getting a measure of Liletta as a person, which could always pay off down the line.
