And this code, what's it say? [ Eda watches her, talking a lot more carefully than she ever does normally. A code, she doesn't.love that there's a code. ]
Yeah, alright. And your way of life is what? [ Eda narrows her eyes, then just gets out with it: ] There's this rule in my world where witches can only use once kind of magic. You don't do anything like that, right?
No. There are more magics than are taught at the academy-- ( such as that special connection green witches had ) --but they are for a witch's own discovery. We teach them what they need, spells and potions to be used, to know their craft. But there is always more to learn.
Well, good. [ Eda snaps her fingers and is back to smiling again. ] Luz got old Bump to change his rule too, didn't want her to hafta go backwards! Being stuck just learning potions was ugh. [ She shudders with a grimace ]
( there's the mildest hint of a smile at that because whilst hecate might teach potions and be very fond of them she knows that a witch isn't competent with solely potions )
She won't. And... I've taught a witch from a non-magical background before.
( so mildred had ended up being from a witching family but it was as if she hadn't with how her life had been )
I know the challenges Luz faces and what she needs.
Have ya? Huh. I've never met one before Luz. [ The words hang in the air for a second before Eda stands up straight, crossing her arms and smiling ]
Well, we'll see how it goes. You settling in okay otherwise? I dunno if I would've wanted to jump into stuff right away. Took me too months to get this set up. [ She nods to her shop. To be fair, her first two months, she was blood drunk, then dead, but that aside. ]
Oh, yeah. You ever need to get away from the humans, let me know. I mean, I do live with a human and a wolf kid, but it's the thought that counts. [ She laughs again, the sound bursting into the cold air. ] They aren't so bad, the humans here. I like some of 'em.
Well, thanks. [ Eda grins, looking over her table of random goods.
It's awkward for a moment. Eda really hasn't been around adult witches in a very long time. It's strange, and kind of nice, and kind of uncomfortable. ]

( though she also doubts eda would go for that which is why she offers--- )
The code is our way of life, to ensure the safety and protection of every witch, to ensure that the nonmagical world doesn't learn of its existence.

Having witches around is familiar. This will at least occupy my time.

And... ( time to make her own tiny olive branch ) If there are any ingredients that I find which you need... I will share them.
