...that 'could lie'."
You remained seated for a moment. Was it Tina? It... had to be. But... she was alive.
"Her daughter isn't dead." you replied. "And the Blue Witch no longer eats children."
"What do I care!" she blurted out. "You, I like you, but you must understand that she must be punished for her past crimes! She has eaten so many already - KILLED them."
"Where else are you going to go?" you stated, flatly. She was too much of an asset to the Black Witch, and with you, she could actually prove to be useful in bringing everything back to order, back to peace.
You were the only neutral figure in all of this. The Witches, the Titans, the Nymphs... You didn't care what race they were. They were all people. You have lived with all of them now, and learned how they are - Human.
You could give them a push to take their problems more reasonably. You had convinced the Council to save Tina from death, and you could sure as hell try to solve this problem with the Black Witch as well. No more unnecessary deaths.
You could provide peace, and perhaps even a way to find a solution to this entire mess - to those willing to live in harmony.
Or at least, you could try your best.
"You can come with me." you said. "It might not be the best choice from your perspective, but it's one you might have to take for now."
You looked into the timber floor. Maybe the Blue Witch had to make a choice like this - forced to pick either worse, or worser.
"Or would you prefer to continue drugged at Day-Day's?" you concluded.
"...I'll... come with." she replied.
