Daniel turned to the page as I looked over his shoulder. One word caught my eye."Witches?" I said. "Shouldn't this have been sent to me?""Not witches," he said, pointing. "Witch-hunters. An Italian cult of witch-hunters.""Okay, so what's the connection to you? Your parents are Italian and you like fighting. Oh my God. You're a witch-hunter. I'm a witch. Hate to break it to you, Daniel, but if you're a witch-hunter? You're doing it wrong."He gave me a sidelong smile. "Maybe it's not that kind of hunting.""Then you're doing it wrong."He laughed and we continued reading.
In a scene from Kelley Armstrong's "The Gathering," the protagonist, intrigued by a discovery in a book, questions Daniel about a mention of witch-hunters. As they discuss the text, she teasingly suggests that he fits the profile of a witch-hunter due to his Italian heritage and fighting skills. She humorously points out a contradiction, asserting her identity as a witch and implying Daniel's role is contradictory.
The playful banter continues as Daniel counters her remarks with a smile, hinting that his pursuits as a witch-hunter might differ from her expectations. This interaction highlights the dynamic between the characters, showcasing their rapport and the unfolding of their identities within the context of the supernatural elements in the narrative.
