>>5461549‘Okay Momma Bird, thanks for the update, and see you soon. Ghost Pepper, over and out.’ You place your hands on your hips and smile. Yeah. This is good. You turn back to face the contestants, and make your way to Monty and Lime. “So how you liking this so far? Still having fun here?”
“Yeah. I think I’m looking forward to the next few competitions, if I’m being honest. Not exactly much of a cook, but it’s better to take things easy.” Monty replies.
“Well then you’re in luck! I’m a great cook, everyone back home loves what I’ve been able to bring out. Leave the next one to me.” Lime states proudly.
That intrigues him. “Oh? What do you like to make?”
“Really good at lots of pastries and the like. Some of the apple pies I’ve made are a real hit with customers.” she tells him with a grin.
“Wow, and ya didn’t even charge Cocoa and I for that time you shared it with us. You really do care for us.” you tease.
“Hey, even if you could have paid for it, there is no way I could make enough to keep up with your appetite, no matter how much I’d make for it.” she retorts in a huff.
“Hehehehe.” you gigglemischievously.
Monty laughs genuinely at that. “Lead the way then, Chef Lime.”
She nudges his arm with her elbow, and the two laugh together. Heh, that’s nice. You make your way around some more, chatting with a couple more folks, but also getting in contact with Jaki once more. ‘Hey, thanks again for that help. Do you mind coordinating with us a bit more just in case other incidents like that crop up?’
‘Coordinating is acceptable.’ he responds. ‘I am also here to make sure my comrades behave.’
‘Behave?’ you repeat. You then kinda make your way to where Sala, Hado, Zarid, Erasa, Gohan, and Phanty have congregated.
