This would be based in the time period of the witch trials, so like... going even farther back than Hamilton-
The Salem witch trials were in like the 1600s so-

A is a witch who's in hiding, as all of them are, and mostly separated themselves from the rest of the village. A has been extra careful since a few people have started growing suspicious of them, but sometimes they'd slip up. B had grown up in the village and never really talked to A, but has noticed that A's cat has been lurking around their property quite often. One day, when B saw the cat behind their house, they saw A with it, sitting on the ground and talking to their cat while absentmindedly preforming simple magic; growing a flower.
