Normally Sigrid would be pissed at Richard asking those kind of questions (she’s not very good with English, she still had feelings for her childhood crush at the time, and the last one was asked because he wanted her to snap back), but something serious came up: Her father unexpectedly came to visit her mother’s shop, which almost never happens. (Richard also looks upset because he hates seeing Sigrid sad, and he’s a little jealous that she still likes Batty despite how he mistreated her since they were children) - Sigrid had a non-existent relationship with her father Samuel, afraid of seeing him not only because he was a powerful Warlock (the most powerful one in Denmark at the time), but also because he cursed her out of spite and shame - he didn’t want a Wicca as a daughter, especially as his firstborn child. He had hoped she was an Enchantress when Aina was expecting, but after she was born and didn’t express the distinct Enchantress trait of sparkling eyes by her first birthday, Samuel placed a life curse absorbing most of Sigrid’s lifespan before Aina caught him and intervened; she immediately packed a bag with her essentials, scooped up their daughter in her arms, and left him behind distraught (Samuel still loved Aina and wanted to try having another child, hoping next time would either be an Enchantress or Warlock). Aina raised Sigrid on her own while Samuel remarried and had a son soon afterwards (her stepmother was the academy’s headmistress, and her younger half-brother Torborn eventually became a powerful Warlock himself). Since cursing her, Samuel anxiously waited for Sigrid’s death to completely rid his connection with her; he was perplexed why she was still alive for some time, especially knowing his daughter’s assigned Reaper was from the infamous Kasper Family known for inducing tragic deaths. —
