astrid narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the way she brushed it off. what did that mean? she didn't have much time to think about as the woman continued, "i get into trouble for good causes. that's enough for me."

"... okay maybe you're older than me, but that doesn't matter." she waved off the question, focusing on the rest of the conversation. she definitely wasn't expecting her to be years older, maybe a few months but whatever. "getting in trouble is half the fun! where's your sense of adventure!"

"two and twenty. you don't look much older than me though. how old are you?" astrid replied, "or we could both get into trouble. have you ever thought of that?"

"guessing, i don't know. how old are you?" she asked, not knowing why it really mattered. the other was obviously more interested in the logic of it all, instead of the fun they could have. "messing with people, they could think you're me and i'm you, and then neither of us can get in trouble for what happened."

"and how do you know that?" astrid asked, raising an eyebrow. she didn't judge someone's age based on how they look so she had no idea, "but you still have explained how we can help each other?"

"i think i'm older." vesta was really just throwing things out to see what stuck, but they didn't really care one way or another who's face it was, just that this could help her in the long run. "oh come on, where is the fun in all of that! don't you want to have a little fun?"

"who says you are not wearing my face?" astrid asked in an accusatory tone, "how exactly could we help each other? i run an apothecary and i'm an artist, that's all. i don't need anything else nor do i want any trouble."

"considering you're wearing my face, i just assumed you had something going on." vesta pointed out, raising an eyebrow. "we could help each other, you know. people are going to question if two identical girls are walking about and we're not twins."

"a witch?!" astrid repeated incredulously, "god, no. why would you say that? what could be good for us?" she asked, "i'm not a witch at all."

"let me guess, you're a witch too?" vesta stared at the mirror of her own face, surprised to finally see her own doppelganger, here in this place of all places. with how paranoid the towns people were, she knew this would only add suspicion to her. "this could be good for us.."
