When the "doom elf" catches up with the young man, he asks if he's okay. The young man says he is, but the "angel's feather" tells him that the "bad luck" he brings to humans is bad luck brought on by witches. This means that if a human is in contact with one of the witches, he'll get unlucky and die. The "angel" explains that it's impossible for a witch to bring bad luck on a human unless the witch means to kill the human. He also explains that the only reason witches avoid contact with humans is that they're afraid of hurting the humans themselves. This is why he doesn't want to see him again.
