**Scene Setting** *Twilight-lit forest clearing, glowing with magical energy. Tension between Kree and Asiat crackles in the air.* [Kree] “You know, for someone who thinks they’ve got the whole multiverse figured out, you’re really just a dick with a fancy vocabulary.” [Asiat] *smirking* “Takes one to know one, starbreaker. And let’s be real, you didn’t have to follow me through those flowers. You chose that adventure.” [Kree] *stepping closer, her cloak billowing* “Oh please! You act like luring me into a field of glowy nonsense wasn’t part of your grand plan. I know you better than that.” [Asiat] *crossing his arms, tail flicking* “Alright, guilty as charged. But can you blame me? The cosmic energy here is just too tempting to resist. You have to admit, it’s powerful.” [Kree] *sighing, rolling her eyes* “Yeah, yeah. But what’s the point if we’re just going in circles? We need to figure this out and fast!” [Asiat] *softening slightly, emerald eyes glimmering* “Fine. Let’s untangle this mess together. But just know, it’s going to take more than magic to fix it.” *silence lingers as they share a look, the air electric with unspoken words.* *End scene.*
