Blacktail Deer Plateau Bufferzone

Osprey could not decide, whether by hag he had meant her or the witch folk in general. Anyway - she huffed and her expression clearly told that he was hoping for too much in such a short period of time. Hags were independent and self-sufficient people, who rarely needed any help from others and were just fine on their own. They had seen a lot more in their lives than most and it was not easy to impress them. Therefore if Burke decided to get a favor from a hag, then he had to prepare for working hard. It was always worth taking in consideration, whether it would pay off in the end. Hags were known to change their minds. Or worse - get bored.

"You are right about that," she agreed, not knowing, when and under what circumstances she would actually go and look for the fellow. Sure - his company today had been refreshing and she felt a great deal better - but then again, when and if she was alright in the end. Would she need him then? No matter, what person, she would hate to have them only because she needed something from them. So, it was worth considering and thinking through again. "So - you are going then?" she asked, raising to a sitting position and slightly wincing at the uneasy feeling in the feet. "Will you find your way away?" she asked, ready to accompany him to be sure that he didn't wander the opposite direction. She doubted that anyone in the plateau would take Burke tresspasing kindly.

ooc: have you read Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice"? I was listening to the soundtrack of the movie from 2005 today and I thought, how very similar Osprey's and Burke's relationship is to the one of Ms Bennet and Mr.Darcy.
