Quoth perched on a cornice above the street and waited for Agatha to catch up with him. She was punctual; he was just early. Having wings helped in getting around the city, especially when there was a Marathon in progress.
Quoth was a familiar; his job was to train young witches. He'd first taken this form about 1910, when, after centuries of being a cat, he'd had enough and decided to go with something with wings. Unfortunately his first young witch had had a penchant for Poe and puns, and had immediately labeled him with the name of "Quoth." Quoth, the raven, could only reflect that at least he hadn't been plastered with the moniker of "Nevermore."
He seemed to attract or be attracted to the odd ones. Not that most witches were anything other than odd but ... he got the oddest of an odd lot. Take Agatha. Most witches discovered their powers in their teens. Not Agatha. Menopause kicked her witchy ways into high gear. And having been a Flower Child in the 60s who had never quite gotten over it ... well he was afraid he was going to end up constantly saving her from herself.
Like now. Here came trouble. On an intersection course with Agatha who was jingling her way up the street, patchwork skirt, India blouse, backpack, long braids, love beads and all.
"Can you help me?" the burly man dressed in jeans and a plaid flannel shirt asked. "My truck got towed, and I need bus fare to get back to the office. I'm the construction supervisor--I'm working on a job over there--" he gestured to a building in the next block. "If you give me money for bus fare, I'll meet you back here on Monday and pay you a hundred dollars."
