The house on the rocks

West

Witch, Liri informed me immediately. She's a witch.
Well, that wasn't very polite, I thought to myself, and Liri agreed. 
"Why do you assume that?" I asked, irritably.

Kendra

"Sorry, that was a bit rude of me," I say apologetically, biting my tongue. Sometimes I tended to say things without thinking."But there's no point in keeping it a secret. I mean, I wouldn't shout it in public but its only the three of us. And she's got some special animal of her own. And I'm a witch too," I added, a bit excitedly.

West

I gave a small nod as a wry smile found its way to my lips. 
"I could tell," I told her. "I just didn't blurt it out." 
Give her a break! Liri demanded. It's not like you aren't happy to see another witch.
So?
So, be more polite. 
"I'm sorry, that came out a bit more rude than I meant it to. Who are you, anyways?"

Sarah

"Wait, you could tell Sorrel is different?" I asked Kendra.

Kendra

"My name's Kendra, who're you?" I ask, grinning at him.

The black cat licked it's paw, before going up to rub its ear.

Nice to see another witch and familar pair around, he said, blinking his green eyes at me.

"Yeah," I said, "there's something....off about him. He noticed it before I did," I answered, gesturing to the cat.

Sarah

"He's not a normal cat," I admitted. "Or a real one at all, actually. He just takes the form of one. He's actually my soul."

West

"West," I told her, right before Sarah spoke up. 
After that I just sorta stared at her for a moment, not sure what to say. It didn't take very long, though. I was pretty used to unusual things. That.. that about took the top, though. 
Weird. 
That about sums it up, I told Liri in return.

Kendra

"Nice to meet you," I reply before turning to Sara."Oh wow," I say, my eyes widing in suprise. "That's really interesting, so can you two communicate back and forth like we can?"

Sarah

Yeah, Sorrel thought aloud, but I can make myself heard if I want.

West

That's so not fair, Liri thought to me. I want to be able to do that. You're horrible at communicating.
Just because I don't insult everyone you want me to... or fall over myself to compliment idiots.
I rolled my eyes, deciding to ignore her comments for now.
"Nice to meet you as well," I told Kendra. 
Tell her I say it it as well!
No. 
Why?
Because, I said so. 

Kendra

My eyes go wide at hearing her soul talk, "Oh wow."

The black cat looked up, seeming to shrug as it got up with a tail flick. You hear me talk, it says privately to me, seeing no big deal in it.

Yes but that's different.

The black cat hopped down, moving over to Sarah's soul. It blinked at it curiously, lifting a paw in attempt to to poke it.

Sarah

Sorrel looked at the other cat, then got a cheeky grin and put his paw right through it.

Cicero

I jump back, surprised at the lack of touch before curiously circling around the other cat. Interesting....interesting indeed, I say to Kendra, sitting down after examining Sorrel.

Sarah

Yeah, that's right, I'm intangible, Sorrel thought to them.

Cicero

I've noticed, I grin at Sorrel. I glance at the humming bird, Can you take a human form like I can?

West

Liri ruffled her wings, relaying the cat's question to me through our link. I hesitated a little as I considered what to say.
"She can become human," I told the cat. "She doesn't normally do it, though. It's much more comfortable for her to be in this form."
