Alexis had seemingly frozen as her mind fearfully tried to process just what the hell was slaughtering her taste buds. It certainly wasn't sweet, whatever it was. The horrid cookie was resting in her mouth as she contemplated spitting it out, but with so many people around, starting to express concern, as well as the one who concocted the vile thing to begin with (under no malicious intent, as far as the bodyguard could tell), that would just... not look good for her, she decided.

Damn it... I've trained all my life to be the best bodyguard... Alexis berated herself, slowly forcing herself to chew some more, and there's no way I'm going to let myself lose to a stupid cookie!

Miraculously, she managed to swallow the lethal biscuit. Predictably, her stomach almost immediately began trying to eject the foreign invader, and after a moment of composing herself, Alexis weakly addressed the concerned parties, "It's... it's fine, don't worry. The cookie tasted... unique," she gasped, lurching forward. The sooner she could find a bathroom, the sooner Alexis could discreetly cleanse her stomach of the poison. Where was that map...? Damn, she dropped it. Oh well, there had to be one nearby.
