"Then we were fighting theshe monsters and they are like freaking shombies, I’m tellin’ you. No matter what I hit them with they just don’t shtay down. Finally I burn the shtoopid thing so much it falsh down and this ugly ass bug breaksh out of iz back and jush crawlsh off!"

"Donnelan, I think you’ve had enough. I can’t understand what on earth you’re saying."

"I’m..... FINE!"

"You are not fine, you’ve been trying to drink out of the bowl of nuts for the last fifteen minutes!"

"... Maybe I’sh had enough."

"I thought you mage types were supposed to be smart. You had enough an hour ago you moron. You’re juicier than a fiddler at festival time. I bet you can’t even walk."

Donnelan’s eyes go blank for a moment as he sways from side to side, testing his balance.
