>>6346339>>6346347>>6346348You know what? What the heck. Might as well try talking to the guy. He's been nothing but welcoming to you, even though you've stayed pretty aloof. Feeling a surge of confidence, you decide to give the dumbells on the ground a try. You strain and groan, but you're only able to lift the heavy weights a couple inches off the ground.
The girl ducks nearby giggle at your expense, but the muscled duck chides them quickly. "Don't laugh at him, dudettes. This little dude has some real guts to try and lift that, day one!" He drops the weight he held in his wing and reaches out for a shake. "Nice to meet you little bro. I'm Jeff. The ladies are Lily and Ruby."
The girls reluctantly wave in your direction as you shake Jeff's hand.
"Where did you get these duck-sized dumbells?" You ask, feeling Jeff's super-rock-crushing grip on your poor fingers.You try not to wince in pain.
Jeff laughs and releases his grip. "Mmm, behind some dumpster. Or was it at the junkyard? I can't remember."
Junkyard? Dumpster? Those are things that exist pretty far away from the pond, where grass doesn't cover the ground.
The beefy duck recognizes your look of shock and smirks. "What? You've never been outside the pond before? How about you and me go on a little walk to the junkyard. Maybe we'll find something neat-o there."
You feel a warm sense of accomplishment, having befriended this muscled and kind-hearted fellow.
