Martingale pinches the bridge of her nose. "Let me see if I have this right. First, they tried drowning you, yes?"
Dandelion nods. "And witches float, ergo I was fine."
"Right. So they put you in concrete shoes before they tossed you in again."
"And the cement hardening turned it into something solid, so I floated out of that too."
"... Right. So put the two together, try to drown you while they were pouring the foundation of their latest building."
"And the issue was never the amount of concrete, so I float and get out just fine."
The mob boss sighs, considering the damp and gray-splotched witch she retains at increasing personal risk. "And why did you not just kill them sooner?"
Dandelion's grin shows too many teeth, not enough pinch to the eyes. "What else was I supposed to do with a free weekend?"
A witch with too many teeth eh? We should hang out.
