Rebecca smiled when her technique did its job. Another problem solved! Now she just needed to work on the ones that were actually kind of important. Dexter seemed fixated on the fact that she managed to wake the Bronzor up in the first place, though.

	“There’s a certain finesse to it,” Rebecca said. “I think. It’s kind of hard to describe. Are you all ready to go? This is probably the last chance we’re gonna get to stock up on things, unless we happen across a travelling merchant on the way selling high explosives or something.” She began to leave, hoping that such a thing might actually happen. Or at least one of those magic orbs. She was reminded of something as she went along.

	"So you really don't have any better place to stay?" Rebecca asked the Bronzor. "The exploring-rescuing business is pretty nice right now. Free food, beds, a little bit of spending money, that sort of thing." She personally wasn't too sure whether they were an explorer team or a rescue team herself, admittedly having forgotten already. She didn't think there was really any difference, though.
