The Watchers are being much more polite to Tamara nowadays. They've never precisely been rude to her, but they are very good at being quietly, politely and oh-so-Britishly unwelcoming. Irritating, but she can live with it if it means she can be a part of the Council. But now their normal tactics have scared off their precious Slayer, and Tamara's the one who convinced her not to bolt; Tamara is now their lead to the Slayer and as such, she's being treated like she's made of glass.
She finds that mildly irritating for a whole different set of reasons, but it's such an improvement over the alternative that she lets it be. She's very careful not to seem as though she's taking advantage of her new-found position. She demands nothing, and makes only a few careful, diffident suggestions. This will not last forever; no need to burn bridges.
And of course, whenever she receives an email from the Slayer, she responds promptly.

"Prom ghost - probably - is up. What do you know about ghosts?"

"Only a little. I can hunt for books. Prom ghost, really? 'Friendly says boo' ghost? 'Avoid prom at all costs' ghost?"
cross_and_bow
"Going to prom seems to be safe if you have a date and don't break up with them during the dance. If I have anything to say about it, after this year it will also be safe under other conditions. It's likely to be somewhat corporeal, enough that it can drown people in sinks, but if there's something I can do besides have a wrestling match with it I'd like to know. Soph's looking too."

"Well, if it can drown people it can probably drink potions? I'll take a look."
cross_and_bow
"If I'm going to forcefeed it a potion I will still have to win a wrestling contest. Grenade- or spray-style options that won't hurt me are to be preferred."
witch_perfect
"Hah! Those sound wicked. I hope they're a thing, so I can learn to make them."
"...noooo, I wouldn't run around school spraying people with potions. Nope. Not me."

"I'm going to choose this moment to remind you that evil witches were expressly listed in my job description."
witch_perfect
"Yeah, yeah, you know me. I would turn football players' hair pink, or something. Shit, I'd do it with non-magical hair dye if I thought I could find something pink enough."
cross_and_bow
"I consider it outside my purview - at least my job-descriptiony purview - if you prank people with box hair dye. If you start throwing potions around you're doing unethical testing of volatile substances. I'm not policing your sense of humor, here, just - watch yourself."

"Yes, Mom," Alli laughs. "I'll be good and eat my vegetables. I'll get you a ghost report tomorrow, k?"
cross_and_bow
"Thanks. And no hiding your asparagus in your napkin, young lady."
witch_perfect
Alli snorts. "See you tomorrow, Mom."
Off she goes to dig through her books.
