"Ugh! My beautiful dress!" Wolffang lamented, "And all because of this clumsy stupid mutt!" she looked at Dame Athanasia, being almost sure, that the vampiress will allow her to punish her rival. "Because of me?!" Livonna wept, "It was you, wasn't it? You activated that damned machine!" she growled. Dame Athanasia, who was even more angry, but too tired to punish anyone, just shouted: "Shut up you two! You both screwed up and now we are in the middle of nowhere, wet, hungry and with empty pockets! If you will continue this stupid arguing, Kajira would sent your stupid asses on fire literally! Kajira, dear, would you?" the vampiress looked at the witch. Kajira, who lost her mantle, but somehow kept her hat just nodded. She also was too exhausted to use any powerful magic, but she was pretty sure, that her partners in crime couldn't knew that. And Livonna and Wolffang gasped in fear, shutting their mouths.
