look at everything you've overcome - don't give up now
"Zeph," Vai barks back at him as a gentle warning, though there's a smile on her lips from halfway up the ladder. He can be a grouchy old man, but there's a heart of gold beating away in there, so she lets him get away with his grumbles, hauling herself into the loft and waving dust and cobwebs away from her face. Her nose itches and she has to blink a few times to get her eyes adjusted to the dim space, and she steps out of the way to let Zeph emerge with the lantern. And to see the kid dash behind one of the boxes.
The state of the place is the last thing on her mind for the time being, given that there's a small boy running around, and she pursues him now there's nowhere left to go, letting out a triumphant aha as she ducks under a beam and follows behind the boxes. "I gotcha. We could have locked you in here, you know. You could have been forgotten!" Her tone is mildly chiding, but not all that angry, mainly because the witch melts around children. Everyone has a weakness, so sue her.
