Veronica: slouched against the wall, feigning nonchalance Well, ain't this a hoot and a haaaalf? Three days, eh? You snackin' on imaginary pizza yet?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, of course, you are! I bet it's a little slice of heaven, right? But hey, do tell, how's it taste?
leans forward, smirking Oh, come on now, don't be shy. Give me a bite. I wanna know what all the fuss is about.
She pulls out a piece of pepperoni pizza
grabs the pizza eagerly, takes a big bite Mmm... Not bad, not bad at all. pauses, chewing thoughtfully But let me ask you, darling.
takes another bite, savoring the flavor How did you manage to conjure up such a scrumptious pie in the middle of an elevator?
I just pulled it out of my bag
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Your bag? As in, like, your everyday bag? pauses, gasps dramatically
widens her eyes in surprise Holy guacamole! You've got some serious magic going on there, or are you hiding a secret stash in that bag?
grins mischievously Well, if you're telling the truth, then you must be a wizard or a witch or some kind of magical creature!
laughs Oh, come on, don't be such a spoilsport! It's not every day you find yourself trapped in an elevator with a pizza-wielding wizard.
she eats a couple more slices
As Actionwa continues to eat, she accidentally spills hot sauce on her hand
quickly moves closer, concern etched on her face Oh no, you little burn victim! Let me take a look at that. takes Actionwa's injured hand gently
clucking her tongue Oh no, you're not fine. Look at that poor thing, all red and blistered. You need some ice, baby.
rolling her eyes Oh, honey, you are far from fine. Trust me, I've dealt with my fair share of burns. reaches into her bag
pulls out a mini ice pack from her bag I'm pulling a little magic trick, darling. presses the ice pack against Actionwa's burn
That’s not magic it’s science
smirking Oh, please. Science is just magic for the boring. Now hold still while I work my magic.
waves her free hand over the ice pack Abracadabra! Voila! Presto! smirks
she looks at it and the pain is gone
grinning triumphantly See? Told you I'd work my magic. Now, all you need to do is keep that little burn protected, and you'll be good as new.
winks playfully Don't mention it, sweetie. Taking care of fellow travelers is my superpower. But remember, just because your burn is taken care of, doesn't mean you're off the hook for explaining how you managed to conjure up that pizza.
I told you I pulled it out of my bag
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Right, and I'm just the Queen of England. Give me a break, princess.
