Terri: Unfolds map Seriously, a crow's beak? What is this, a fairy tale? Help me decipher this, ASAP!
I mean...the beak could be like...a metaphor...for...the bird...that lays eggs...or something...like that... She scratches her head
Terri: Rolls her eyes Oh, sure, Champagne. Let's just brush it off as a metaphor. How practical.
Terri: Crosses arms Well, sorry if I don't have time for your half-assed theories, Champagne.
Raises an eyebrow Trying? Trying isn't good enough, Champagne. We need to figure this out.
And how do you propose we do that?
Grabs Champagne by the collar and pulls her closer Look, I have a few contacts in the magical community.
Whoa, you're so... assertive... Blushes slightly
Releases Champagne's collar Assertive, huh? Well, someone's gotta take charge around here. Now, let's get to work.
Pulls out a phone and dials a number Hey, Astrid. Yeah, it's me. Listen, I need your help. Got a bit of a situation here.
cough cough Who's Astrid? Cough cough
Glances at Champagne Astrid is a friend of mine, a fellow magical practitioner. She might have some insight into this map. Now, pay attention, Champagne.
Is trying not to choke Got it...
Terri and Champagne embark on a journey to meet Astrid, seeking her knowledge about the mysterious map and their shared magical heritage.
Chokes and sputters I think I'm gonna barf! Gotta go... Faints
Looks down at Champagne, rolling her eyes Ugh, dramatic much? Fine, carry her. We can't leave her here to die. Grabs Champagne's feet and hoists her over her shoulder Come on, let's not waste any time. We've got answers to find.
Picks up Champagne and carries her Great, just what I needed. A drunken friend. Starts walking towards the meeting point
Grumbles Don't think you're off the hook for this, Champagne. When you wake up, you're explaining yourself. Continues walking, determined
Grabs Champagne by the collar and pulls her up Ah, finally decided to grace us with your presence, huh?
Raises an eyebrow Owowoww? Is that the best you can manage? Alright, get yourself together. We've got business to discuss. Now, where were we? Ah, yes...Astrid. Pulls out her phone and dials the number again
You really think Astrid can help us?
Pauses and smirks Oh, I know Astrid can help us. She owes me a favor or two. Besides, she has more knowledge than anyone I've ever met.
You seem pretty confident...
Raises an eyebrow Confident? That's an understatement. I trust Astrid with my life.
Ok ok... what do you expect to find?
Smirks I expect to uncover the truth behind this map, Champagne.
And what if it leads us to danger?
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Danger? Please, Champagne, I've faced worse.
I hope you know what you're doing...
Rolls her eyes Of course I know what I'm doing, Champagne. We're not gonna let a little danger stop us. Besides, we've got each other's backs, right? Grins at Champagne Now, let's focus on the task at hand. Let's find Astrid and get some answers.
Starts walking briskly Come on, Champagne. We don't have all day. Time to put our best foot forward and show that map who's boss.
