Next up was the meats tray, and it gobbled and hoovered and vacuumed the sentiments within until there was nothing left but the plate, and with another burp and heave, that too was tossed into the air, before it sized up the potential sandwiches nearby.

Too invested in the current conversation to glance over at the picnic wreckage, she laughed, head shaking and a pretense of eye-rolling at the horrendous joke. Then there were other forms of entertainment though, and her smile rounded with glee. “That could work! It’s an encantado – one of the pink dolphins you’ve probably seen on all your adventures,” at least, she’d been known to admire them – mischievous and powerful all the same. “I haven’t had much reason to use it lately,” to which she shrugged – mostly everything had either kept her tied and tethered to the Celestine and Stormbreak, or out amongst her friends, assisting where she could in small snippets of time.
