The witches cottage has a huge cauldron in the middle of the cottage. There are shelves of glass jars that have things like spider legs, dragon toe nails, and fairy wings.  The floor is a dirt floor and the roof is made of wooden brooms.

an assassin
witch
I only mastered one spell in witch school. I can speak with inanimate objects. I use this spell in espionage. I work for the government.
Stop assassin. Why are you here? I'm on a mission Stop. I know spells. What are you here for? I'm here to kill the king of course and there's nothing you can do to stop me You idiot assassin. This is my cottage. No king here! I just came for supplies. Didn't think you'd be home. Can you not ask nicely? I thought you were here for me since I work for the government. Maybe we are on the same side? You never even gave me a chance. Give me the toe nail and I will kill the king.  Who will you put in his place assassin? Not really my call on that but I don't see why you couldn't fill the position  I don't want to rule. I just want to be here in my cottage getting paid for working for government. What kind of government work do you do exactly?
