Emma vaguely remembered the girl, a few conversations on the devices, and yeah, there seemed to be a few stereotypical witches in the place, what with their wands and spells and the like. And maybe since they had the 'education' and all, they'd be a more reasonable way to go.
"Well, I mean, it's your book," Emma shrugged slightly, she wasn't going to suggest Gretel go around showing off a book of ancient magic, least of all since Miss Ice Queen had gotten all 'watch who you trust' on the subject of people here. "But um... Can we not mention why?"
She was pretty sure Jefferson would have a fit if he found out she'd mentioned it to Gretel at all. She didn't need the possibility of some busy-body brainy witch kid spouting out suggestions and aggravating Jefferson more and making him lock Emma out too.
