People always forget about the Bones.
Yes. Toad bones. Chicken bones. God bones. Bones.
Why would people forget? We all got bones in our bodies.
Yeah... people must be quite dumb if they forget they have bones...
Yes. When's the last time you used a toad's bone to talk to a dog?
I don't need a toad's bone to speak with dogs. My stepmother used bones to divine sometimes.
I hope she taught you. It's a good skill to have.
No, but I learned what I could by watching.
She never taught me much.
That's a shame. It's an art that should be passed on.
Of course. I'm quite versed in bone-lore. It is a bit of a specialty of mine.

What would convince you? I do not have a lot of money right now, but I will in seven years.
I have no interest in your money, Child.
You will need to prove you are capable however. A witch's trial is not something to take on lightly. It will be unpleasant.
