THE TRAIL AND THE TOLL

Laudna and Fearne are attempting to unlock the door, and Laudna says she could give lock picking a try. Even if it's not really her forte. Fearne encourages her to give it a try, even suggesting she use her superhuman strength. Both agree that was amazing, and Laudna says she had never felt so strong before. Fearne calls it neat and Laudna thanks her. She starts to attempt to open the lock, while Fearne stands in front of her to hide her. She is able to unlock the door and she and Dorian step inside and Laudna says that she'll scrape the door to let her know it's her.

ON THE TRAIL OF A KILLER

After Mister steals Dorian's sandwich, Laudna asks Fearne if Mister would like Pate. Fearne believes that Mister would love Pate, and Laudna quickly pulls him out to show Mister. Mister goes into full Wildfire Spirit upon seeing Pate, but Fearne tries to calm him down. Laudna and "Pate" are offended, and Fearne pets Pate to show that it's okay, but Mister just pushes Pate out of the way instead. Fearne puts him away and tells Laudna that they'll try again later.
