The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Life at Nowhere House is good for Mika. She always finds something to do and good company to enjoy. Mika has helped the girls with several vital witch skills. At Nowhere House, Mika feels a peace she has never known before.

On December 1, there’s a meteor shower. Mika stays up late to gather star shavings from the sky. Hearing a crash from Jamie’s room, she investigates and finds that he broke a glass. She helps him clean it up, using magic to gather and dispose of the pieces. He couldn’t sleep, so he planned to drink. Like everyone else in the house, he’s stressed about Edward’s upcoming visit.

Mika invites Jamie upstairs to treat the cuts in his hand and brings the whiskey. She patches him up with her special balm, and he asks questions about her practice. Mika allows him to catch a star shaving.

Jamie continues to visit Mika’s attic in the evenings, bringing alcohol. They usually sit in silence while Mika works. Jamie sometimes asks questions about her processes and spells. He asks why Circe stopped shedding. She says she noticed that it bothered him, so she used a spell to prevent it. As a guest in their home, Mika would hate to make the residents uncomfortable.
