*Brandi bumped the swinging door to the kitchen with her hip, opening it gracefully and setting down large trays of freshly baked breakfast foods on a long buffet table. Upon seeing the wizard, she wiped her hands on her apron.*
"Good morning, sir."

*Merlin stood up from his chair and bowed politely.*
"Good morning, miss. Do you need a hand?"

*Brandi shook her head with a smile.*
"Nah, they aren't that heavy. You just keep comfy and in a sec food will be on."
*She disappeared back into the kitchen for a moment, quickly to reemerge with more platters.*

*Merlin smiled and found himself a comfortable chair, continuing his reading. When Brandi came out of the kitchen again he looked up, smiling friendly.*
"The breakfast smells absolutely delicious. I can tell from the smell alone that you are a talented chef."

*Brandi laughed to herself, setting down the trays.*
"It's kind for you to say, but really not necessary. I just hope that there's something that you like in the mix."
*She disappeared into the kitchen and reappeared with a large stack of fresh plates and set them next to the silver and glasses.*
"Breakfast is up, if you're ready."

*Merlin stood up, and with a snap of his fingers, the book disappeared. He smiled to Brandi.*
"Easier this way. Saves me a lot of walking."
*He looked at the breakfast table, and his smile widened.*
"Ah, I like everything in the mix. I see I was right about your talent, young lady."
*He picked up a plate and helped himself to a lovely breakfast and a glass of milk. Afterwards he placed himself at a nice table, before talking to her again, in a friendly tone.*
"Excuse me, young lady. A lady running an inn in Paris, must know a lot about the things that happen here and the people and other creatures that live here, right?"

Well...the half of it I have eyes in.
*Brandi shrugged and wiped her hands on her apron.*
"Not everything, but I try to stay informed of things that come across my doorstep."
Why? What do you want?

*Merlin tasted the delicious food on his plate while he was talking. He enjoyed his meal.*
"You wouldn't happen to know any witches here in Paris, would you?"

*Brandi considered his question for a moment before answering. Well, he *was* a wizard.*
"Of them, sure. Witches, warlocks, sorcerers...what's your fancy?"

*Merlin looked surprised for a moment. Then he started laughing.*
"Fancy? Oh, no, good heavens! I am an old man. I was only looking for someone I know. A witch. Her name is Malefica, and last time I saw her, she was a green and devilish little teenager. You wouldn't happen to know her whereabouts?"

Oh, that one.
*Brandi shrugged.*
"Didn't mean it like that. I'm not running a service. But yeah, I've seen her about here on occasion."
Like when she's busy trying to steal my man.
"What do you want with her?"

*Merlin looked up at her for a moment, with glittering eyes behind his glasses.*
"I have some urgent business I need to discuss with her."
And her superiors want me to kill her for breaking our law, but I want to hear her explanations first.

*Brandi's eyes grew shrewd, studying the magician. But Malefica had only ever spoken well of Merlin and she had no reason not to trust him. So she told him the last place she had seen her. Or, you know, the last place one of her characters had.*
"She's been at the Mondego Mansion."
*She shrugged.*
"But she's been having some troubles. With her mother. Just so you know. Wouldn't want you going in not expecting that one."

*Merlin smiled friendly and looked up at her. His grey, intelligent eyes were glittering merrily behind his glasses. He wiped away a drop of milk from his mouth with his napkin.*
"Mondego Mansion.... There is something familiar with the name.... Something with Monte Cristo comes to mind.... But I am rambling. Forgive me."
*He looked up at Brandi, interested in her information.*
"So, Queen Lilith of Hell has been out looking for trouble again. Don't worry of me, young lady. I have battled evil queens before. I may be old, but there is power in me yet."

*Brandi shrugged.*
"Just thought you might want to be able to be prepare for her. But yeah, anything else I can do for you?"
