<span class="mu-r">“I might need them in a bit. Until then, I’m gonna go mingle with the others. Are you okay here?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“It’s okay. I’ll be fine.”</span> she assured you.
<span class="mu-r">“Cool. Holler if you need me.”</span>

When offered the chance to approach the trio of powerful mages, you found yourself being slightly intimidated by the subject material of their conversation. It was something relating to advanced magic theory, and every other bit of supernatural jargon was flying over your head faster than Quicksilver could run.
There was simply no room for you to smoothly enter their conversation, so you did what you did best in any social situation. You kicked down the door and barged right in.
<span class="mu-r">“Hey, Ahmose? Thanks for everything you’ve done here. We appreciate you using your potion twice in one night. I know that couldn’t have been an easy decision to make.”</span>
He gave you a small, but regal bow that made you feel a bit more important. <span class="mu-g">“The decision was easier than you might think, my web-flinging friend. If a life can be saved, then there is no question about what must be done.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Even if that life belongs to the Silvertongue?”</span> you asked.
The mummy nodded, but it seemed more like a concession. <span class="mu-g">“I must admit that our reasons for reviving the Silvertongue were more than a little selfish, but that in no way compromises the validity of the core principle. Life is precious, and must be preserved whenever possible.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Well, speaking of Silvertongues, I might have found a solution to our little dilemma.”</span> you declared. <span class="mu-r">“I know a guy who should be able to clone the Silvertongue using the DNA sample that I gave him.”</span>
Pandora’s eyebrows shot up. <span class="mu-b">“A clone!? You’re sure of this?”</span>
You nodded eagerly. <span class="mu-r">“Oh, I already have plenty of evidence that his method works. He’s already created a pretty damn handsome clone of yours truly. We’re currently competing to see who can end up on more government watchlists.”</span>
Pandora sighed wearily. <span class="mu-b">“One of you is enough trouble. Couldn’t you have told him to take up gardening or something?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“He wouldn’t be me if he didn’t cause you guys at least a little grief.”</span>
She shook her head, smiling despite herself. <span class="mu-b">“I suppose there’s some truth to that. I don’t mind a little grief if it means this clone theory is a viable option.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">“I’ve never heard of anyone successfully cloning a magical creature, but then again…I’m not entirely sure if anyone’s ever made the attempt.”</span> Strange mused.
<span class="mu-g">“It is certainly an interesting theory that deserves proper exploration and study.”</span> Ahmose added.
<span class="mu-r">“We’re still ironing out the details, but I think it can work.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">“Be sure to keep us posted.”</span> Pandora advised. <span class="mu-b">“And keep that clone in check. Or have him keep you in check. Whichever one of you is the rowdier one.”</span>
