((I just wanna say - thank you so so much to all the people who've gave my story a chance. It means a lot💜))

*The next day*

*Sophia's pov*

I always worry a bit before facing a client. You just never know what they might want. I worry a lot if a client wants to remain anonymous. It just makes their intentions more unclear.

A knock on my office door snaps me out of my thoughts. Erika, our Secretary, pokes her head in.

Erika: Client here to see you, ma'am.

Sophia: Bring them in.

She nods and she disappears for a few seconds. When the door opens again, she's with a short girl with pale blue hair. Erika smiles then vanishes.

I really wish she wouldn't do that in front of clients. Then again, the girl wasn't looking.

Sophia: Please. Take a seat.

The girl, after a moment, sits down on the chair opposite me.

Sophia: For what do I owe the pleasure Miss..?

???: (smiles) For now, you can call me Blu.

Sophia: (smiles back) Well Blu, what can I do for you?

She seems friendly enough. I allow myself to relax.

?Blu?: Can I start by asking some questions?

Sophia: Sure, go ahead.

?Blu?: ...Are you... actually a witch?

This is actually a question I get asked a lot.

?Blu?: Hope that's not offensive.

Sophia: It's not. You're entitled to ask me these questions. And the answer? Aye, I am a witch.

?Blu?: (looks at me curiously) Do you fly a broom?

Sophia: (laughs) No.

?Blu?: You do magic, right?

Sophia: It's what we do, aye. (smiles)

?Blu?: Could you demonstrate something so I know it's real?

Sophia: Anything in particular?

?Blu?: I don't mind.

A bird appears on the desk and Blu's (if that's her name) eyes grow huge. The bird changes from red to blue then to green. After a few more seconds, it disappears.

?Blu?: Woah! You didn't even say anything!

Sophia: Practise. (smiles) I presume you've had a browse on our website?

?Blu?: Yeah.

Sophia: So you obviously believed in this kind of stuff to start with, otherwise you wouldn't have found it.

?Blu?: That's right.

Sophia: So, what can I do for you?

?Blu?: I need help finding someone.

Sophia: Okay, have you got anything that's linked to this person? Clothing? A fragrance?

?Blu?: No.

Sophia: Any photos?

She shakes her head*

Sophia: Right. This could be a little difficult then.
