The Overlords Witch {BL}

Chapter 17 - Curious Mind

It had been around a week and during that narrow period of time Phyllis had only learnt a few things, but in his opinion, it was more so very much to little.

Mostly due to the fact that the witch was in the middle of recuperation so it was expected that he wouldn't demonstrate any of his rumoured abilities. Furthermore, he was also bouncing between research and fixing people. And unfortunately, there has been an increasing amount of cases increasing his workload.

In the time he got to know about the witch he learnt he had no name, he was of sixteen years of age, he wasn't aware of where he came from, no, in fact, he didn't know where he currently was, and his jewellery was some sort of device to allow this so-called 'spirit or demon' to be connected to himself. But the witch couldn't personally access this device to call upon the spirit himself, even when tried.

Finally finished with probably his fifth case today he proceeded to retreat to his headquarters, remembering something Phyllis visited the kitchen.

"would you like me to get someone to send it to your private chambers," the servant asked attentively, with a slither of unease.

Phyllis smiled "no, no that'll be quite unnecessary it'll be better if I take it myself, as a matter of fact, I'll be grateful if you send some fruits to my door. And tell the person to knock I don't quite enjoy being interrupted during important work"

Phyllis opened the door and was stunned to see the witch standing up, "what have I said about getting up without my approval" he shouted panicked, despite the reprimand he ran over to the boy first putting the food on the closest counter.

"It doesn't hurt as much to stand up," the witch said stretching his arms slightly.

Phyllis fussily placed the witch's arms down and led him to the bed "Which doesn't mean you should get up, it doesn't do you any good child"

"But you already fixed me" The witch's bright pink eyes seemed so cold seemed as if they would freeze you with their sheer focus, making anyone uneasy, but at this point of time Phyllis was long accustomed.

"That does not mean your body has finished repairing, do you understand? When constructing something or building structures it takes time. And the more complicated it is the longer it takes", Phyllis explained, he knew that if he broke it down he would understand.

"I see" the witch marvelled his eyes wide with wonder.

This triggered the curious mind also known as Phyllis "Hmm...do you? I've been wondering for a while now. How exactly does it work?", he asked.

"What," the witch said.

"You fixing people, how does it happen?" he asked.

"I don't fix people, I just alternate their physical time, I change it from after they were hurt, to before they were. I take it back to when it didn't hurt." the witch answered turning his attention to the idle food.

Phyllis felt a slight pang in his ears "Wait...so you have an effect on the construct of time, does mean..." he took a moment to hesitate so that he could properly reiterate "it is possible to bring back the dead"

The witch then stared off in the distance his expression barely changing as usual "No people don't come back, death is final. Isn't that how death works" he said bringing his focus back to Phyllis.

Phyllis couldn't help but smile despite being an airhead, this child definitely wasn't stupid. Just now the witch used his own words against him. Actually, for a while now he noticed that, in a way, the witch mentally was a bit behind but his intelligence was one not to be underestimated.

"About your friend can I ask, how are you feeling about it today? Do your best to describe the things that come to mind.

The witch didn't directly look at Phyllis, "sometimes I can see his face and the way his eyes looked at me before they closed. It hurts my chest, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"That's fine we won't anymore, but what your feeling is sadness. Something we all have to endure when we are hurting" 

It's a bit messy but I hope its endurable until my lazy butt decides to edit... Also also i have two more...
