"Still deciding which team to pick for the Altador Cup?" Adie asked her owner.

The owner in question, Vulpis, was curled up in a beanbag with a checklist and a pencil, looking very concentrated.

"I narrowed the list down to Mystery Island and Lost Desert," she replied distractedly to the electric Eyrie.

"Wait, is this your vacation spots list or your Altador Cup list?"

"It's kinda both. Anyway, I can't decide between the two. I mean, on one hand, dynastic monarchy. On the other hand, Gadsgadsbogen. On one hand thousand of years of culture, on the other, a culture in which 50 of all conversations consist of the word 'Aloha'." She paused for another moment. "On one hand dry heat, on the other humid heat."

The Eyrie blinked. "Are you serious!" she asked, while Vulpis merely rubbed her chin in concentration.

"On one hand scrolls, on the other, cannibals."

"Have you at least looked at the Team rosters?" Adie asked, this time exasperated.

"On one hand, my newest role-model Derbi Azar," Vulpis continued. "On the other hand, Teylore Nix, dude. Teylore. Nix. On one hand, team of veterans, on the other... Volgoth. Big, scary, Volgoth."

"Alright, let me see that," Adie humphed, grabbing the piece of paper from her owner's hand.

"Who do YOU think we should root for?"

"Meridell," the Eyrie replied. Vulpis just scrunched her nose.

"Aww... You're just saying that because of Fiorina and the fact that she's an Eyrie."

"Are you kidding? Have you ever seen this lady play? She's on fire, Vulp, she plays the game like it's going out of fashion."

"I saw her once on NTV. She really put the verbal smackdown on that Vitri Sitol dude."

"Saw that one too. 'Bout time somebody did it. Remember the time Vitri didn't appear for a game because he'd gotten into a fight in the park on the way to the stadium?"

"Oh! When they were playing against the Cheeserolling Chestnuts?"

"We're veering off subject. Who do you want to join?"

Vulpis threw her hands up in defeat.

"That's it! There's only one way of settling this!" she yelled, getting up.

"Where are you going?"

"To get a coin!"
