“Mhm! Clear as a crystal!”
But she's never seen a crystal, right?
"Mhm!"
Whatever. Humans…
“... do <span class="mu-s">NOT</span> normally have <span class="mu-r">FIRE POWERS</span>.” Volka concludes with a nod. “Unless they have a flamethrower! Or a bomb!”
Ooooorrr?
“Oooor they’re a <span class="mu-s">MAGICIAN!</span>” She concludes with a triumphant laugh!
Perfect, you smile, she’s got it!
“Damned right I do,” the Skog announces with a bellyful of laughter! “Rookie?”
Yea?
“Question: what the Hells <span class="mu-i">was</span> that?”
That, you reply as you rub your chin in thought, is a very, VERY good question… one you don’t really have an answer to.
“Hmmm…” Volka ponders as she scratches something on her unseen face, “And you never did that before? Even before you arrived in Zoral?”
No, you frown, If you had ever done that before you <span class="mu-i">definitely</span> would have remembered it. You definitely wouldn’t be working at a Deep-Fried Everything joint…
“What’s a Deep-Fried Everything joint?”

No and no, you growl as you through your no longer outlined hands up in frustration! Man, and it was so useful too!
“Well whatever it was, you shouldn’t have even needed it…” Growls Volka as she smacks her head against something metal, “If I’d have just done my dumb <span class="mu-i">job</span>...”
Hey, you frown, it wasn’t her fault… it was those lousy players and their shitty dice rolls! Blame THEM!
“No, it was <span class="mu-i">me…</span>” The Skog groans as she smacks her head again, “Big Dumb Volka, can’t even scare off a pack of Makkar…. If they had gotten you….I…”
Hey, you retort with a smirk, it’ll take more than that to kill <span class="mu-b">ANTON PEAS</span>, alright? Giving your bodyguard a reassuring pat on the shoulder, you take a few steps in the direction you think the road is and look back at her. Come on, you begin, we’ve got a road to g<span class="mu-s">AAAAUUUBLBLPH</span>
