241 Digging them all- Part 2

The man stood tall and proud, his face dull like a dead man who lacked any expression or emotion. Edith had realised who had come to meet her right after the first knock and so did Lucas as if they knew who was at the door which was why they left right away. She had her head bowed before she raised it. 

"Crane," she greeted. 

"Edith," Crane greeted her back, "You have a lovely place here. Very mortal-like," came his slow, deliberate words. His eyes moved to look at the room he stood in, which was small but dark. 

"It is easier to blend. The mortals will label me as a witch if I don't act like them," Edith replied for the man not to respond who was looking at the things around him, but he wasn't looking. He was smelling the scent of the two individuals who had disappeared before Crane had pushed the door open.
