Mireia asked with an ironic smile.Ca: Oriol va fer una ullada al mapa i va fer un gest de sorpresa.En: Oriol glanced at the map and made a surprised gesture.Ca: "Ops... em sembla que vaig cometret un petit error", va admetre.En: "Oops... it seems I made a little mistake," he admitted.Ca: Mireia va esclatar a riure.En: Mireia burst out laughing.Ca: "Què et sembla si ens quedem igualment?
