(Drabble) The Old Woman and the Sea
As the two women continued their race back to the tea shop, the taller again addressed the shorter.
"Matcha, you've been acting strangely since your powers were taken... Please tell me what's wrong... "
The request came so suddenly, and with such a note of concern which Matcha was not used to, that the bog witch relented.
"... This mighn't be Kumiho's fault. I'm almos' certain it ain't. At least... not ent'rely."
Sea Fairy's facial expression subtly shifted to one of deeper concern.
"Ye know 'o' the one Legendary most 'o' th' cookies don' like callin' by name, right?"
Sea Fairy shuddered, the sea water that made up her hair becoming choppy with agitation.
"Yes, I know of her... The Dark Enchantress, correct?"
Sea Fairy practically spat the name out, like it tasted bitter.
"... I cannae tell ye how, but... I can sense 'er presence... I've felt it for a while... "
The choppy waters grew rougher, and Sea Fairy tightened her grip on her sword.
"Settle down b'fore yer hair turns intae a tidal wave, lass! I don' think she's physic'lly 'ere. But I think she might be causin' trouble from afar with 'er magic."
Sea Fairy looked down, too worried to even acknowledge that she was actually older than Matcha, so Matcha calling her "lass" was kind of weird.
"I don't understand... Why is she targeting us?"
Matcha wanted to tell Sea Fairy, but fear of what the reaction would be made the elderly cookie's words die in her throat.
