They made it to the Coven by late morning, after allowing plenty of time for showers and finishing the pancake breakfast Rupert had intended to make. They were immediately greeted by Miss Harkness, who was directing a few young witches back toward the commune.
She turned to greet them as the witches wandered off. "Good morning to you both. Are you here to see Willow?"
Jenny smiled. "Yes, we are. Good morning, Agatha. How is she doing?"
Agatha tipped her head thoughtfully, looking sad for a moment. "Well, she's doing better than she has been, though she's still having nightmares."
She nodded, biting down on her lip as she considered the idea that maybe she and Rupert should be staying at the commune during Willow's recovery. As if in answer to her thoughts, her husband gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
"Do you know where she is right now?"
"She's actually studying with a white witch from a Coven in Dresden."
"Germany?" Rupert raised his eyebrows.
Agatha hummed in accordance. "She comes very highly recommended for this type of situation -- this type of magical rehabilitation."
Jenny frowned. "We won't be teaching her? I had thought--"
"We will of course have a hand in Willow's path back toward white magic. However, given the extent of her derailment, I thought the recovery process would be a bit beyond our purview. And Frau Werner has helped many a witch return from even the darkest corners of magic."
"Well that's good, then," Rupert nodded. "Willow needs all the help she can get currently."
"Yes." Agatha then tipped her head toward the commune. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I must return to my girls. Willow and Frau Werner should be in the east wing."
"Thanks," Jenny nodded, and she and Rupert set off hand-in-hand.
She turned to greet them as the witches wandered off. "Good morning to you both. Are you here to see Willow?"
