Barrel had only been halfway paying attention to Lock and Carver. He picked out something about the Bludlite being used to keep Chad off-guard, but otherwise was more interested in snacks, and then maybe joining the dance. He downed a whole bottle of the Frankensteiniken's before he answered.

[i]Maybe[/i], he tapped on the bottle.

He set the bottle on the table and gently tapped against it, now that Lock was out of earshot and happily rejoined with Lillith.

[i]Why can't you do it?[/i]

Carver stuffed a few more snacks into their front mouth to have an excuse to not talk. He tapped Barrel's shoulder in response.

[i]Because she probably figured out I stole the adderpepper juice, so she's not going to believe me[/i].

Barrel just shrugged. That made sense. He thought for a moment, then turned to Agatha.

"Lock said nothing can make that taste better," he said as he pointed to her purse. "I think that might."
