"Hello, Island Witch"...?
"... my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again.
Because last night, while I was smoking,
You snuck up on me, nearly had me choking.
And my tobacco got soaked in that old lake.
For goodness' sake!
And now I have... no smokes left."
Oh cool she found my minecraft house
I was thinking my Sims 4 Island house myself.
So is that the beast she saw before? Or is it the Island Witch wearing a furry coat and a fancy hat?
Or both...
the witch would be my guess too...
I’ve just realized that that silhouette is making me picture the Bear Woman from Lumberjanes.
SWEET DIGS
Nice hat
If the Witch's first words are "Want a smoke?", I am dead XD
Also was anyone's first thought 'Gingerbread House' went they saw that hut?
Mine was Harry asking, "What is this gingerbread bullshit?"
I'm waiting for the house to stand up on its chicken legs. :D (I know, Baba's house is unlikely to match Maori house, but I always expect chicken legs on Mysterious Houses in the Woods.)
No, it looks like Polynesian-style carvings in wood, with the bulk made of bamboo. Stylish and functional.
If that cottage is made of gingerbread and marzipan, then I recommend running away very fast.
With the lack of gumdrop decorations and candy cane support beams, I think it's worth risking.
Bamboo with carved wood accents. Rules out Grimm-style witches, but rules in witch doctors.

ooh, is that a Maori style house?
Based on a little rapid research, it looks like it's either a very nice wharepuni (a residential/sleeping house) or a wharenui, which is a communal meeting house. Since it's just kind of on its own in the woods I'd guess the former, but the lovely carvings could indicate the latter...
i was wondering the same!
I was thinking the design motifs looked rather Norse, but your idea makes more sense, considering the circumstances.
The only thing we’ve heard Harry say so far in this chapter is “Hrm”.
Well, she is a woman of few words and not given to talking to herself...
Hrm
How appropriate that she meets Witch Friday on Friday.
Pointing the gun at someone does not strike me as a friendly greeting.
...friendly? You've met Harry, right?
This was my first thought too. Let's hope that whoever she's meeting is better at diplomacy than she is. :/
...she has been in very unfamiliar circumstances and being stalked by a large carnivorous-looking something for a while. She has no way of knowing it's a some_one_ and not a some_thing_ behind her now.
"Hey, it's your day to say you're welcome
'Cause I'm gonna need that boat
I'm sailing away, away
You're welcome!"
:D
A great rendition of a Maori building!
I've also been impressed by the accuracy of the forest in the last few pages - it actually looked like NZ bush, rather than old world jungle.
Have you been to NZ, Kate? Or just studied a lot of photos?
a lot of photos! I'd love to go one day but it's gonna take much saving of my pennies :)
Is pulling the trigger Harry for "goodbye"?
For everyone but her family, Gren, and Sid... pretty much. :P
Please be a hermit
Well, it sure seems like Harry's withch hunt is over.
WITCH HUNT!!! 😵

Which hunt?
Clever girl.
Beat me to it. :P
Look at that beautiful whare! You've done a real good job with the design, I really like the tukutuku panels.
Take off your shoes before you go in Harry!!
Hmmmm... wonder if she's actually got any bullets left.
