Millie the witch, unfazed by Nevina switching the cups, hissed a chortle through her teeth and into her tea as she attempted a sip.
The elf did not find the same amusement in the question. Sat straight-backed and upright in her chosen chair, she breathed deeply and sagged her shoulders in a long exhale. “I was,” she said, slowly at first as she found her words, and watching Millie. “I was sent to learn - of potions mainly, but also of other things - until I learned too much and learned she had deceived me.”
“Oh pish-posh, ‘deceived,’” said Millie with a dismissive curl of lip that revealed a few too many teeth. She set aside her cup and idly wafted a breeze across the too-hot brew. “Oh Nevvy, I never lied to you, if that’s what this is about.”
Nevina leaned forward slightly, folded arms resting over the satchel on her crossed lap. “You manipulated my confidence.”
“Yes, that was an important lesson.”
“You imprisoned me for a decade for a lesson?”
