Tabitha took a slow, deep breath, mentally visualizing the task. Making a sandwich sounded easy enough, but making a sandwich with her staff added a certain degree of unexpected difficulty to such a mundane action. Well, how hard could it be? At least the ingredients weren't swimming around like those fish were. Wait. They weren't going to start moving, were they? The brown-eyed woman eyed said ingredients nervously. No, they looked to be ordinary sandwich ingredients.

Holding her staff firmly, the pink-haired girl jabbed the armament at the pile of bread slices, succeeding at flipping one onto the empty plate before her. Guess that fishy training from before actually paid off. Next, she followed up with some ham and then a slice of cheese. Now to top the sandwich off with another slice of bread. She turned her attention back to the bread pile. With a fluid motion, she maneuvered the desired slice of bread into place.

Tabitha's brown eyes widened as a lovely smile spread across her face. She had actually done it. Using only her staff to touch the ingredients, she had actually made a sandwich. Her eyes filled with pride, she gazed at her handiwork. Wait. Why does it look like it's missing something? A sweatdrop rolling down the side of her face, she turned to the nearby mayonnaise jar. How could she have forgotten the mayonnaise? Well, it is a sandwich, and she is hungry. Mayonnaise or not, she may as well eat the thing.
