"An-y-way," MAx continued once the old woman deposited the candy back wherever she took ti from. "I need a charm to find this person I'm looking for, and my master suggested you. So, I came by hoping to find one for it. Can you help me?"
The old woman hummed. She slowly rocked back and forth in her chair, eyes shut in thought. Her mouth slowly split open in a smile, Max balking slightly at the sight of the ruined yellow teeth. "I think I can help you, hmm...yes. I can. I can make something for that. Cregga dear? Mind helping me up?" The young woman rolled her eyes and helped the older woman up. Max watched as the ancient woman thanked the girl, picked up her stick, and shuffled over to the table.
The illusionist sighed and leaned against a wall, watching the old woman putter about the table. Picking up jars, taking some, putting others back, and generally gathering a variety of items. She soon had enough, and tottled off towards the bubbling cauldron. Setting the items about beside her, she added a pinch of one bottle, a dash of another, and generally assembling the contents into the boiling water.
After a moment, she waved over Max and the harpy.

The old woman stirred the concoction slowly. "It's a tracking spell. I-I can make that, of course. Only, it seems I'm...I'm missing an ingredient. Ohhhhhh, and it's rather important one, too." She stopped stirring and turned to them. "Vital, children. Very essential. A flower. This one!" She gestured at the cauldron. A sudden mist bulged out, congealing into the image of a five petaled blue flower. "Essential, you-you see. Only grows amongst the dead. Unfortunately," she added, clenching her bony hand, the image collapsing on itself and falling apart and back into the bubbling depths. "The dead seem to like walking around these days."
Max scowled resolutely. "Where is it."
The witch glanced at him. She smiled slightly, a somewhat sharper gleam in her eye. "You know, that look reminds me of the old days. Back before all this Horde gobbledygook and nonsense. I-I was young then," she sighed. "Young and beautiful. Oh, if you could see. I used to seduce all sorts of young men from Darkshire. Called me the White Witch, for my skin was pure white. Like a ghost." She looked back into the cauldron dreamily. "Oh the nights we had. Under the moon, our limbs entangled in carnal embrace-."
Cregga rolled her eyes. "Baba!' she admonished, making the old woman jump.
"Oh, yes, yes. Heheh, sorry dearies," she said with a crooked smile, showing off her rotted teeth. "Happens sometimes you know. Anyway it's in a graveyard, dearies. Not too far from here. I've run out, and haven't the heart to send Cregga for it. The dead walk there, again. And if anything were to happen to her..." the old woman gripped her staff and shuddered at the thought. She hobbled over to the table, her fingers trailing over the bottles. "Used the flower often. Quite the spell, you know. Used it to make myself-self look young again. Only worked for a little while, but it was handy. One time, it wore off while I-I was with this young woodcutter... Heheh, he got quite the shock. Aha!" she pulled forth a small satchel with the symbol of a flower stitched on it. "Here we are," she said, hobbling towards the harpy. "Here dearie, you hold it. Put the flower in there. 'll keep it fresh."

Max nodded. "Alright. Get the flower. Easy enough. Anything else?" he asked.
The old woman shook her head. "No...no, don't think so. Oh, here," she added, fairly throwing herself into a mound of stuff. She emerged with two pieces of bread and a small hunk of cheese. These she pressed into Max's hands. "Must keep your strength up. You're all still growing you know."
Max accepted the items with no small degree of confusion as Cregga laughed aloud at the spectacle.. "Er...yeah, thanks."
"No trouble dearies, no trouble. Well! Off you go now. Have a safe trip. Do come back soon," She said, bustling them towards the door. Max was fairly shoved outside, Cregga following him shortly after. Wiping the tears of laughter from her eyes.

As soon as all three were outside, the door swung shut with a boom. Max glanced it's way, straightening out his ankle high robe and collar with a slight scowl. "A'right. That was...less than comfortable." He glanced over to Cregga. "The fel'r you smiling at?"
The young witch merely grinned all the wider. "Oh, just your skills with the ladies, Maxie dear. Come on!" she added before the fuming illusionist could reply. "The graveyards this way."
Max growled, stomping off after the young witch as she strode away and into the woods.

Cregga trailed back a bit once the trail was set, letting Max pass her and coming up alongside the harpy. Arms crossed behind her back, she watched the avian flutter forward. "Don't think I've seen many harpies around here. And I've lived around here awhile," she remarked. "Where'd you come from?"

Cregga raised a brow at the harpy. She shrugged. "Alright, whatever. I get it. Changing the subject then. What kind of magic do you know?" she asked instead.

Cregga smiled indulgently, adjusting the furs which she wore. "I might."

"Like, literal stone? Or were you being poetic?"

"And your magic comes from this stone?" Cregga queried.

"Hmm." Cregga looked forward. "Interesting. I didn't know anything about that. What kind of magic does it grant you?"
