She thinks you can. Beneath the accent and her not being happy about the physical in-person warning, she's complimentary. But, if I ask, am I opening myself up to my own warning?
I think that depends on what you're asking for, as I'm not entirely sure what a Bennett witch would want from me.
[Which is playing his hand a bit, because Bonnie hadn't given her last name, but let's be honest. There are only so many witches of her caliber named Bonnie. He can feel how strong she is.]
Let's just say you're not the only one who is interested in seeing the Colony reap what they've sowed. And when that time comes, it would be nice to have the Bennett line on our side.
Don't look so surprised. Not all of us are happy little families.
[His certainly isn't and it's got his actual family in it.]
The Colony has done a lot of harm to a lot of people for way too long. And no one's keeping them in check. So if I have to do it myself, then so be it. The coven is supposed to be mine one day, should I live that long, and I intend to take it in a different direction.
[If not disband it entirely.]
But in order to do that, I have to get rid of the old guard.
[It's good to have an unkillable thousand year-old Original in her corner.]
We'll work out whatever the coven wants before I leave and they'll leave her alone until another hand of glory or cursed object that they want appears.
[She raises an eyebrow before glancing over to Bela. Bela shrugs in return, because it's his business that would be aired out in front of her. Pressing his lips together, he nods.]

( A shame, really, that she has to talk to you. But, you have to work at what she might need. She needs to size him up before outright asking. )
no subject
And you think I can?
no subject
( Hmm? )

Are you familiar with the Gemini?
( She keeps back, coven. Another quick, probably pointless test. )
no subject
[He reaches for one of his fries and pops it in his mouth to punctuate the question.]

( He's so flippant. )

The Gemini Coven, now mostly out of commission, is an old school coven from the Seattle area known for their sets of twin witches.
no subject
( Is she wrong? )
It's not completely out of commission.
no subject
[And then, the realization hits him.]
You want to stop the merge.
no subject
( She gets right to it. )
no subject
[He'll confirm that suspicion.]
I don't know why, it was long, long before my time, but as far as I know, they were responsible.
no subject
( She rests a hand on the edge of the bar, planting herself there. )
no subject
[He's still gonna let her keep dancing around it, because he appreciates it when people are direct.]
Some might even argue that that's generally the point of curses.
no subject
( She holds out hope, but she's been told pretty succinctly. They did it. This is it. )
no subject
[He doesn't know every curse the Colony's ever cast, but there is a record. He just needs to start digging.]
The information you need is back in California. But it's not something I can offer you for free.
no subject
( She wonders if it's a, when it comes along, currency. )

But I can't promise that it won't get messy.

( But, no. She knows. She doesn't have a happy family, either. Her one chance had his heart ripped out. Ask her about it. )
While I won't blindly declare my loyalty, I think we should talk again. Is Bela in any real danger?
no subject
[But that being said:]
Not with Elijah in her corner.
[It's good to have an unkillable thousand year-old Original in her corner.]
We'll work out whatever the coven wants before I leave and they'll leave her alone until another hand of glory or cursed object that they want appears.
no subject
( She wants to be there just in case. )
no subject
Sure. Why not?
