#Astrid Beck channeling Elle Woods from Legally Blonde: “What like it's hard?”

[glyphknight]

"You were always better at solving problems than I was."

Just turning this moment over in my head:

Caleb -- boy genius, chosen protégé of one of the most powerful evil wizards in all the land, with an incredible memory that puts wizarding on easy mode, who said things "came more easily" to him than the other two -- has just spent "so much time working on this" ancient artifact to stop Trent. Weeks of puzzling and tinkering but it's Caleb so of course he gets it eventually. Yet at the moment of triumph it doesn't work and he's stumped.

Then Astrid just rolls up like, "What's that?" rocks a 24, and immediately fixes a critical issue on this totally-unknown-to-her Arcanum object. LOL

Like, he doesn't even tell her what it actually is! He just does that thing where he's all vague and dramatic, lmao.

(Correction--She got a 24, not 26. Post changed to reflect that. Also "than me" --> "than I was." Caleb is nothing if not grammatically correct.)
