Oh. I didn't know.

[This girl's cooking abilities begin and ends at the microwave]

She's fine. Why do you ask?

Alligators have quite the vicious bite. I am surprised Miss Nicole can procure the animal so effortlessly.

It's not that hard.

They bite hard but it's hard for them to open their mouths. So you just keep their mouth clamped shut.

And yet getting their jaws shut in the first place seems like the challenge. Miss Nicole is quite resourceful.

She is, especially when it involves earning or saving money.

[You can practically hear the sigh, as the homesickness sets in. I miss my Nicole, Lycaon]

Now I want a gator burger.

[A part of him does wonder about this Nicole on a...nostalgic level. But he doesn't want to assume too much.

We all miss Nicole, Anby.]


There was a vendor at the state fair with a gator-based food.

[It's definitely about Nicole. But at least even Anby can recognize that- especially when Lycaon suggests something Nicole would never approve of:

Spending vendor prices at a fair]


I'll pass. I know that vendor from Florida. He brings gator to other states so he can overcharge for lower quality gator dishes without anyone realizing because it's a novelty food up here. Also because he doesn't get along with the other vendors back home. We'd supply fresh gator as a routine odd job, so we've also had past beef with him stiffing us.

It's okay. I'll just call Nicole tonight.

[The world of gator meat is a fascinating one indeed. It's not an ingredient Lycaon would use too often (too similar in vibe to a certain colleague of his), but he can respect the connoisseurs.]

I am surprised you did not confront him. Or that Miss Nicole did not take the trip up to be competition.

If he is overcharging for a sub-par product, that is quite unforgivable.

It's not worth doing it now, we got our money eventually and now we just don't do jobs for him. And Nicole can't leave Flordia right now. It's complicated.

[Legal issues, per usual]

It's shady, for sure, but it's not illegal. Just go to Florida proper if you want to taste good gator burgers.

[Worrisome. It sounds like she's being contained rather than barred.]

I will keep that in mind. For now I will simply trust your astute taste in burgers.

Were you able to try any at the fair?
