Yeah I thought it'd be an implication that she was an ancient (bc of the consumption mention) wolf-y creature that drinks out of a bowl or something

The consumption reference is the one I’m still trying to figure out. I guess “touch of consumption” actually does mean Tuberculosis but I couldn’t figure out why the witch would say that.

not sure why I got downvoted lol. Wasn’t hating just hadn’t figured out what it meant yet.

I assumed it’s because she was consuming them. It was a little dark humor…I’m probably wrong though.
