She nods. "Yeah."

Inside it's all tidy, small and cozy. There's a table with a lamp and some flowers. On the shelves and counters are lots of herbs and other plants. There's a single bed shoved in the corner.
"Have a seat. I'll go look for her." He turns to exit the cottage.

Door closes.. door opens! A little wrinkled woman with bright blue eyes enters and stabs a finger into the air. "I am the witch of the woods!"

"If he can do something to stop this then he should be beaten up until he does so."
---
The old lady toddles over and sits at the table. "What brings you to see the witch?" She cackles.

"He's probably lying."

"The djinn. Always they come for the djinn." More cackling as she taps her fingers together. "What are your reasons?"

"My..." the woman blinks then grins again. "That is a silly claim little girl."

"Maybe. I'll bring my gun."
---
"Oooh, you loove him." Snicker cackle. "Darling, djinns don't have time for that. They grant their wishes, then move on to the next master. It could be ages before he has time for you, and then you'll be dead."
