Tea for Two [Blind Witch/Invite]

[blindpew]

Finding your way through a city blind was one thing, but finding your way through a gigantic forest with no idea where you were headed is a completely different story. But for a psychotic blind pirate, these things do happen to you every once in a while...or every day if you happen to be Blind Pew....though creatures and people tend to leave you alone when you're waving a walking stick around in the woods, striking any tree nearby, and proceeding to question it with insane babble.

He continued this, until a sweet smell filled his nose. What was it? Candy? Sweets? Gingerbread? "What is zhis I'm smelling?" He pondered to himself, moving away from the tree he'd hit and wandering aimlessly towards the scent.

It grew stronger with each little step the small pirate took, until he'd collided with the door. "Now who put zhat here?" He groaned, his hands patting the door, "Knock knock~" He said, pushing on the door that didn't seem to be locked, "Hellooo, anyone here?"

The tiny pirate waddled into the home, his nostrils sniffing as different scents filled them. "What is zhis? Sweets? Candies? Pies? Does a leetle gurl live here?"

The Blind Witch, as she usually did, had sensed the presence of an approaching newcomer before they'd even entered her home. The magical protection she'd set upon the gingerbread house functioned as a sort of 'silent alarm', giving her plenty of warning should any...unwanted visitors arrive. Mostly, however, the visitors who were unfortunate enough to stumble upon this place were children. Still young and innocent enough to recognize and be enchanted by the presence of magic, not to mention the enticing smell of sweets, the young usually had little trouble finding the Witch's home in the forest. And judging by the relatively light footsteps coming from out in the garden, she'd assumed that this one, too, was a child. ...That was, until the door swung open and she heard his voice.

Accented and far from a child's smooth, high-pitched tone, it indicated that a very different kind of stranger had stumbled upon her home. The Blind Witch's guard went up immediately, in case this little visit was...not so accidental. Inevitably, rumors of children who wandered into the forest and never returned did get out - and sometimes, those rumors were traced back to her. When that sort of problem arose and resulted in strangers coming to investigate, she was always forced to 'deal' with them appropriately. Such a shame.

But this stranger's sent was foreign; he smelled of sea salt and things she could not place, he was from very far away. And he seemed quite puzzled to discover what lay inside the house, and rather confused in regards to his whereabouts...so she didn't think she needed to label him a threat. Yet. But she would be investigating this newcomer either way - after all, it wasn't every day that someone who wasn't a child and someone who wasn't intentionally looking for this place came upon her home in the middle of the forest. Something told her that this individual was a very unusual one indeed....

Wandering out from the kitchen, the Blind Witch made sure to make her movements seem cautious and searching. Living here as long as she had, she of course knew the layout of her home by heart - but it was always good to appear vulnerable; to get a stranger to lower their guard. ...Little did she know, this particular stranger couldn't see her either. "Welcome!" she greeted in her usual honey-sweet tone, turning in the general direction in which she estimated the stranger might be. "It's not every day that I get visitors all the way out here....are you lost?" she inquired, in no way acknowledging the oddity of a home made almost entirely of sweets - revealing too much about that could go horribly wrong, after all, so if he had any questions she would need to answer them....carefully!

If anyone were to walk into this scene, it would look ridiculous. Two blind creatures trying to search one another out. One having the advantage of knowing the home by heart, while the other wandered around bumping into objects. Especially when one was a pirate and the other was a child-eating witch.

"Ah so there is someone here," Blind Pew grinned as he turned towards the sound of the Blind Witch's voice. As he started walking towards her direction, however, he collided with a chair. It gave him a pretty good whack in the face. After a few grunts and whacks of his cane, he was able to move past the chair, and ended up walking straight into the wall to the Witch's left.

How Pew got anywhere was a question that no one in the world could answer. He moved purely on sound, not even trying to investigate what was around him. He could walk off the edge of a cliff and not even realize it until he hit the bottom.

"Where did you go leetle gurl? Did Billy send you, is zhat why you are hiding behind all of these diversions?" One insane pirate at your service.
