Around every corner

/embarrassed
Hush

My brother, he
Distills
Demon essence, I suppose is the term for it

I was supposed to use his power to raise the dead, but the elders found that they couldn't control him, so they found an alternative

You
And Patches

[Charlie Ayers]

What makes them think they can control me? :(

[Temperance Ayers]

Charlie...
They already are...

[Charlie Ayers]

What? What do you mean?
Oh.

[Temperance Ayers]

It's okay
We still have time!

I can send Patches to you if you need him

[Charlie Ayers]

I don't know. I'm debating.
Your brother might sense him.
What would he do if he did?

[Temperance Ayers]

He'd
Distill Patches

But if I put a charm on Patches, my brother will know it's me! He'd never hurt anything of mine!

[Charlie Ayers]

That
that seems best.

[Temperance Ayers]

I'd better make a charm for you too then...

[Charlie Ayers]

He can distill witches too?!

[Temperance Ayers]

Patches is linked to you, so... probably...

[Charlie Ayers]

Wow, he sounds powerful. I better be careful around him.

[Temperance Ayers]

Yes, please be careful. He's not a criminal, he just... is young. And he doesn't know how to handle his powers.

I'm sending Patches right now, he has the extra charm for you. Put it on your wrist and it'll keep you safe.

[Charlie Ayers]

Thank you, Tempie. I really appreciate it. I'll tell you the minute I see anything.
Better yet, I'll try and get pictures on my phone if I can.

[Temperance Ayers]

It's nothing, don't thank me
Don't let them see you.

If anybody asks what you're doing, just tell them you got lost or something!
