[ Normally, she would pop a spell from the Mystic Code she's wearing--the Arctic one, per her usual uniform these days--but she's already found out none of it really works. It's just an outfit now, it seems like, so now her only real recourse is this: the I'm Not Mad, I'm Just A Little Disappointed tone of voice.
