The news of Simone’s death had hit Destan hard. A regular visitor, a supplier, and eventually a friend, the witch had found safety in the woman that held a strange reputation long before they came into the picture. The two helped each other learn different things, Destan assisted by giving information on magic and the supernatural while Simone helped them settle into the town. If Destan were not familiar with death and how it has a habit of just picking people at random, they would say this was unfair.
No, they still think it’s unfair.
Though they made a habit of ignoring the town’s gossip, Destan found that the nosy people had actually come to provide useful information. Someone was in Simone’s house, taking out boxes and apparently cleaning it out. Though Destan had their own suspicions, they found that if anyone would be at that house, it would be someone who might want some help. So after closing the shop up early, the witch drove down to the familiar home that had once sheltered a friend. With a box containing assorted teas and a jar of honey in one hand, Destan knocked with their free hand and waited patiently for someone to answer the door.
