Willow settles herself in a quiet corner booth to think and make notes about the herbs she needs to pick up the next time she's in the real world. She grabs a fruit punch on her way in.
It's not a quiet booth for long. Willow is soon joined by her good friend Goldilocks, and a little girl of about seven years who has similarly shaded hair and eyes to the Fable. Almost eerily similar.
"Sunshine, this is Auntie Willow," Goldy says to the child. "She's a witch. A good one."
Beat.
"Well, inasmuch as she isn't evil."
The girl looks a bit confused at that introduction, but she manages a smile and a polite "hello."

She looks at Goldy askance.
"And I'm definitely not evil. Right now. Or at all anymore. Very not evil"

"You were though? I didn't know that."

There is a young man there, at a table with hot coca and his big handbook of medicine.
And a sword, sheathed, resting on the tabletop as well.
Oh, Milliways.
