A Congregation of Witches (And a Siren) [Val, Riley, Lara, Les, Tristan(??)]

[bewitchinghaze]

 Val let out a heavy sigh of relief as she and Les finally approached the cottage. "You may as well come in and rest for awhile," she offered, getting out her key and unlocking the door. A few odd twists lowered the basic wards she kept active whenever she and Riley were out and she headed in.

"Riley? Lara? I'm home. I brought company..." she called into the house.

The familiar feeling of her personal collection of greenery and the magic she'd put into them quickly calmed her nerves and she began to collect the things she'd need to set up a good strong set of wards to keep out the curse. This house would be the safest goddamn place in town, if she had anything to say about it.

Riley smiles at the blush, knowing her sister's got it pretty bad. "Such a cute Soo-Yunnn," she coos and messes up Val's hair. "Speaking of, Les went through your pickle jar."

She gives her the finger, not even bothering to lift up her head. "You're the wooorst." she grumbles into the wood. "Eh, he can have the rest, if he wants. I'm making a new batch soon anyway. I wanna try another flavour combo."

[jiyunnies]

"Wow, way rude. Can you use him as a taste tester for some things?" she asks, playing with Val's hair. "I worry about him."

[bewitchinghaze]

Val relaxes into the table, practically purring over the ministrations. "He can be a taste tester for me any day. I've got a new tomato breed coming in that he should try. They're-" she pauses, letting out an obnoxiously loud yawn. "They're sweeter than normal. What worries you?"

[jiyunnies]

"He'd love those. I dunno," she shrugs, braiding and unbraiding Val's hair absently. "He doesn't seem too motivated to take care of himself. I think he lives off free bagels from Quill. At least he has a job with Lara now."

[bewitchinghaze]

Val rolls her eyes with a sigh. "We'll feed him up. You know I've always got excess from the garden. He can come 'shop' here whenever he wants. Or just come over for dinner."

[jiyunnies]

"Good. Thank you." She pets her hair before patting Val's arm. "Time for bed, Soo-Yun."

[bewitchinghaze]

Val lifts her head off of the table, checking her phone quickly before yawning. "'Kay... They're out now." she mumbles sleepily, dragging herself up from the table and stumbling off towards her bed.
