Lara Nightshade: kicks a rusty can Stuck here. Gravesight can’t wait.
Lara! It’s just a delay! Get yourself some coffee like you used to.
snorts Coffee didn't make me a badass adventurer. I'm going to find out why we can't fly out to Gravesight tonight.
I pull out my phone go ahead try and figure it out, because I just asked the airline and they said it’s something to do with you
narrows her eyes Me? You mean to tell me that there's something about me that made our flight get canceled?
Look at your flight history!
grabs her phone and quickly searches her flight history Alright, let's see what we have here... pauses
glares at the screen It says that my frequent solo flights are causing disruptions. They think I'm some kind of flight risk or something.
Then I’m flying home to Oregon on your behalf
crosses her arms Fine, fly to Oregon. But don't think for a second that I'm not going to make it up to you somehow.
my face turns red I’m not a charity
rolls her eyes Oh, please. If you weren't so selfish, I wouldn't have to go to these lengths to make it up to you.
I glare at you I’m not selfish I’m being practical
Practical? laughs sarcastically
I’m just doing what needs to be done
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, I'm sorry, Zoey, I didn't realize that you were the indispensable one in this relationship. rolls her eyes again
Hey, I’m not being indispensable I’m just being practical!
grits her teeth Practical? You call abandoning me in the middle of this mess practical? Fine, if that's what you want.
Zoey cancels the flight to Gravesight and books a new one to Marrakech, leaving Lara Nightshade alone to deal with the situation.
the next day I show up with two tickets to Marrakech
raises an eyebrow Marrakech? What's the plan now, Zoey? Are we supposed to blend in with the tourists or what?
snatches the ticket from Zoey's hand Fine, if we're playing this game, I'll play along. We'll see what a little bit of adventure can do for us.
I smile I have a surprise for you
raises an eyebrow A surprise? Well, color me intrigued. Lead the way, Zoey. But remember, if it's a waste of my time, there will be consequences.
I smile I know it won’t be, trust me
grabs Zoey's arm and pulls her along Alright, let's see what this surprise is all about.
we arrive at the airport and board the plane
whispers to Zoey during the flight So, spill it. What's the big surprise? Don't leave me hanging.
I smile well, when we land in Morocco, we’re going to be treated like VIPs
rolls her eyes VIPs, huh? You always did have a flair for the dramatic, Zoey.
