I was tagged by the wonderful @lemonsrosesandlavender and lovely @coreene in two similar but not exactly the same prompts so I am combining! Thank you both.

A snippet of Klaus chinwagging with a hag, as he does, from the next bit of 'Conductor, Ringmaster.'

“Do you know how most of us come to be? Us ‘hags’?” Klaus did, but he let her explain; her question had the air of a ramping-up point, and he didn't want to interrupt her flow. “We're stolen; sweet and innocent little girls, robbed away to become sisters - to become part of our covens,” she said. “Ghouls, mummies reborn, your poor, dear sweet drider,” she listed, “so many of your friends were not simply born - but wrenched and thrust and crumpled into what they now are.” She turned to him, ready to deliver her point, he expected. “They had no choice,” she said, “tell me, little dragon - how does that fit into your little world, where nothing has to be what is expected from it?” She leant in a little. “What for those of us who already aren't what we were supposed to be?” Klaus considered her question. He knew what she was driving at, sensing this particular wrinkle in his philosophy was one that sat at odds with her own. Then again, why wouldn't it? The very thing that changed her also gave her such magic she could warp and change the world around her too; could offer such things to others … but, no, that was a lie. There was much she could not change.  The truth; that many things were immutable, herself included, was the sting behind that promise. To Estrella, perhaps, she was the greatest thing of all that could not be changed. She didn't really see that it wasn't her that needed changing; only what she chose to do about it. Gods it was hard to think here. “I'll answer your question with my own, Estrella,” Klaus replied. “Whatever happened to you before, you can still decide from here." “Your choice was robbed from you once,” he turned to her. "Do you really want to let it be taken from you for the rest of your life, too?”
