“Really?? You sound like a familiar. You keep the witch someplace near? Tic TOC, tic TOC....”
I am familiar with the concept of a familiar, as in “an animal-shaped spirit who serves for witchery, a demon, or other magician-related subjects.” That seems to make your next comment odd, given that the familiar serves and is kept by the witch, not the other way around. You then lose me with the ticking clock. Or is that some other in lingo?
