I am wary of any magical girl with the name Gretchen. Just so you know.
Why so suspicious? Is there some Madoka thing I'm not aware of thanks to never getting past the A's on TV Tropes?
Anyways.

Gretchen thought for a moment, deciding to start by asking Kyubey a question or two that had been nagging her.
"What's with the contracts, anyways? Are these witches so terrible that you need to get human girls to fight them for you? Why not use adults, or...whatever you are? And how often do witches appear? ...And how much longer do we have to do this?"
After Kyubey answered her questions, she glanced at Diane, who clearly looked uncomfortable. Probably. It's hard to tell past her...you know. Diane was glancing at Gretchen, too; did she want to talk? She couldn't think of anything to ask her which she thought would be appropriate, so Gretchen settled for "How have you been?"
