[The Witch of Misfortune can be easily found wandering around, mostly in the Master Bedroom. Though seems she'll easily stop whatever she's doing and chat with you, at least...]
Hey, Yuuko! You know, that's a good idea today. The floor is usually a good place to cool down after a real fight, even though I don't think it was real--
[He keeps up some nonsense chatter about the logistics of the Blue Truth battle while he settles down by her, apparently still fearless despite everything else. He'll put the plate down between them and... promptly take a bite himself.
Apparently she's free to help herself?? There's just a mess of veggies and poultry and I bet there's mushrooms, because those are the best. Also stew. What the heck even is this plate.]
--And I guess you both kind of won? In your own ways.
[He doesn't seem to notice, even as he tilts his head to glance sidelong at her and consider her words and everything else. It isn't necessary for him to notice things like that in their current configuration.]
You're acting funny, you know. Not like somebody who's supposed to be running a Game like this.
[Of course, it's debatable whether he has any idea how a Witches' Game is supposed to be run.
But is that stopping him? No. He's taking another bite and too bad.]
You know, I thought Feathers must have been the only one who wasn't prepared for this type of battle -- but how long have you been fighting like this, anyway? It's a pretty interesting way to fight, and it's going to take us a while to get used to it, but...
[He holds up a mouthful and stares at it as though it contains all the mysteries of the universe.
Because despite her status, Yuuko surely doesn't contain every secret this time around. He chows down a little before addressing her again.]
I like it. The Witches' game. So I can't have you giving up before the rest of us do.
[He'll nudge the food a little closer. Because why not?]
That's the spirit. Does that mean that if you lose this Game, you're still going to keep trying for what you were playing for in other ways? Or maybe there are rules against that...
[Gosh, it's not poisoned food or anything. Well, that's her loss. He's going to keep eating in the meantime.]
You haven't fought like this before, either, huh... So your Game mentor Witch really was teaching the both of you. I totally thought you were a pretty old Witch, since you're pretty powerful. How long have you been a Witch, anyway?
...No. If I lose this game, then I will lose what is important to me.
[...]
...But I could still live without it.
[As for the rest...]
....I have forgotten. But not long, for most Witches. After all, they tend to have lived hundreds of thousands of years...and I have yet to even reach halfway to a thousand years.
What you live for and what's important are two different things! Even if being alive is important, of course. I wonder what that has to do with Feathers, though? Did she steal something important?
[From his tone, it might just be speculation, but he's also just curious. There's no particular leaning or accusation to it. Apparently, both Witches are just equal in his eyes, in some ways.]
By the way, why did you become a Witch, anyway? It's a pretty big pain to become one, isn't it, so it must be an interesting story!

[Yeah, she....doesn't even move from where she's at.]
In a...way, yes.

[She doesn't go into detail, though her voice is sharp.]
...I became one because I became aware of the worlds above me. I clawed my way to a new existence, breaking the shell of my egg of my own accord.

[Anon nobody asked you. He's watching Yuuko with the same unwaveringly open curiosity, a hint of something sharper to it but nothing more.]
So you saw that there was more power, and more potential, and more possibility. And you wanted it? Is that what it was?
