"So, that's it? You ask me to fire one energy bolt at you and now you're just going to walk away? If I knew you were to give up so easily after one hit, I wouldn't have bothered to come out here today."
Maxine picked up her book and dusted it off, turning to the page that described the "Dissolo" spell in detail. "Who said anything about giving up? All I wanted to do was test the spell to see if it worked."
"Now you know that it does," said Doris, "let's go back out there and finish up."
"Don't you think it would be better for us to conserve our energy for later? We won't accomplish anything if we sling magic back and forth all day without resting."
Doris felt her stomach rumble. "Yeah, maybe we should stop," she said, checking her watch with her free hand. "It's kinda hard to train on an empty stomach."
"In that case, do you want to eat out at that pizza place again?" Maxine rifled through her wallet to check her cash on hand, while organizing her credit cards and driver's license to prevent them from getting lost. "I'll pay for it."
