Mr. Creel. I need you to say it. And I need you to repeat after me.
[A couple of days have passed since the arrival of Henry Creel, esper and perhaps not a human. It's fascinating, really, how acclimated Amelia has become to a second body in the house. She had given Henry space to explore and learn about the town and its general surroundings instead of pushing the matter of getting him back to his world. The witch, upon reflecting on their long conversation, didn't know how he looked at the world around him besides it being a different kind of cage. After being in a laboratory for so long, it's hard to tell how warped one's worldview would be. Blackgale is her home and for her, she loves it very much; she would want a visitor to take a liking to it too.
That's why for today, she'll have him help and grant him, even more, leniency so that the town and its citizens can continue to thrive.
Right now Amelia is in her kitchen with one finger hovering over her house guest's forehead.]
"I promise I will not break your neck, spine, arms, or any other bones. I also promise to not throw objects telekinetically at your head or use you as target practice because you have been a very generous hostess and I would never think to—."
grin and bear it;
