Halliwell Manor has been empty for several years. The layer of dust that has accumulated on the furniture is unpleasantly thick. There are cobwebs in every corner, waiting to spring themselves on an unsuspecting visitor. The rooms smell musty, like a waterlogged library. Though the garden shows signs of maintenance, the interior is oppressively lifeless. Without people to fill it, the house has become a shadow of its former self. Underneath all of that, the place is the same as the sisters remember. Halliwell Manor looks like home.
Well, if Felix's horrified/hurt face is any indicator then she has absolutely seen that knife.

You won't see any practitioners with this kind unless they've studied and copied one, which is just as creepy. I meant he might not be trying to kill all of you. I've met some friendly warlocks."
"Also, It bears questioning: would a friendly warlock date a charmed one for friendly reasons? Besides how incredibly hot we are?"
"They were not actually childhood sweethearts, but we knew Theo when we were kids. Also, what a great standard for friendliness."
"If he is not a supernatural, what would be the consequences of outing magic to him?"
"C'mon sis. You of all people would never expect that the ones in charge would be sensible."
"Are you a danger to the timeline at all or are they just following the rule guide of incompetent good-doing?"
"I don't think I'm a danger to the timeline. They're kind of the only source on big, world-shaking stuff I can trust, but they also personally hate me and I can't talk to them, so I'll never find out. I think we should probably just move on and try a spell. Is there something wrong with the truth spell?"
"This set haven't met me, and even the set I knew in this time didn't care- I'm originally from the future. Of an alternate timeline. Which I changed to stop the world from being taken over by an evil magical dictator, and now my family never existed. It's kind of a touchy subject, so let's just focus on you saving the world."
