Mateo

      ❛ I wasn’t sure what you could and couldn’t do. ❜ She had heard of other members of churches being able to marry and have children. Her curiosity  seemed to get the best of her after all. ❛ What if there were a chance you did fall in love ? I’m not saying anything against your beliefs if just seems hard to give up on something you feel strongly about. ❜ She frowns , thinking of her of relationship. Would she give it up if her beliefs didn’t support it ? ❛ It makes you strong though , I admire that. ❜

☥ ━           A grin formed making her looks menacing in a way. “Ah, i’ve killed a few too many and others well, let’s say they do my bidding. You got to have eyes and ears everywhere dear.” She says taking another sip of her tea. “i suppose they keep me well informed …., i don’t know about being entertained.” Valerie said softly.

“Not really. The dead is more of a problem to you, for me they are like your next door neighbor.” She winked, her lips curling into a smile. “they serve me although i can’t speak for other witches who love playing with fire – those are the kind you should worry about.” Valerie stood up, straightening the wrinkles from her dark velvet gown and stepped closer to the priest who sat comfortably on the arm chair. “So everyone says. That’s the beauty about someone, it only makes you come back for more. Like you for example, as much as you came by to check up on me and see of my well being ; you still want to figure me out – not sure you want to go down that rabbit hole my friend.”

        Brows furrowed, the mix between her words and grin weren’t the most assuring thing but so far Mateo had managed to remain not one of those others. If he had to become the second, he much rather end up as the first. What information Mateo would ever provide Valerie with had to be what he thought she needed to know. 

☥ ━    The witch eyes the priest as he delicately took the cup of tea which still contained the heat, Valerie made sure the tea never got cold especially when her favorite guest was in her presence. “A bore I love entertaining myself with. Priests are boring but only a few who aren’t, you know, the hypocrites who walk around and pretend they’re so holy and preach the do’s and don’t’s when these kind of priests are foul and disgusting but that’s another topic for another time. I’m satisfied with just seeing your face, although we’re natural born enemies in a way. You just happen to be tolerable.” She shrugged.

“Good. You have nothing to worry about – now that you’ve checked on my well being and finding me deep in my dark studies over tea would ease your mind in knowing I’m not conjuring up dead souls to bring back to the living realm. So that means, we can bore each other as much as we want. However, your mind screams curiosity, Are you so eager to know the mystery I hide?”

         “How many priests before me have you tried to use for your entertainment, have they been at that good at keeping you occupied?” A sip followed, a glance up at her with amusement building further. When they didn’t dig deep into religion values, Mateo found himself unwinding and more at ease. 

          “Good to know you aren’t conjuring any, those might cause you some trouble just as much as it would cause me some.” He never thought of that before, and didn’t want to think of it again, so he hoped Valerie didn’t choose to mess around with that or they were going to have a hard time, both in personal relationship terms and that in the realm of the supernatural. “You’re hard to figure out.”
