Reni: (thoughts) Oh! Right, let’s see…

Reni: (thoughts) …Which compartment was it… Everything’s mixed up from the crash…

Reni: (thoughts) Here? No. Oh! Wait… Got it!

Reni: (thoughts) While I might not know much magis yet, I do come prepared! Here, Trace. This should work.

Trace: Oh, uh… thanks. …What is it? Some kind of teleport-y thing?

Reni: (thoughts) It’s a gate key. Sorry it’s dragon-sized.

Reni: (thoughts) Normally, you can’t just teleport into places like your estate. But for convenience, most have a gate set up that acts as a single well-protected entry point.

Reni: (thoughts) If I held it, this key would go to my home in Morlin Hall, but with you, it should go to yours. You can borrow it for now, though I will need it back!

Reni: (thoughts) I… actually collect magic stuff like this as a hobby. I think they’re neat.

Karen: Hang on! Does that mean we aren’t going to get to ride on a dragon?!

Reni: (thoughts) Er… It’d be very hard to carry so many people. Sorry.

Karen: Aaaww~!

Trace: Okay, so how do I–

CRZCK!
