"Ah Doc, don't talk like that, it hurts my feelings!" Even with a beak Forbrisher managed to look morose. "You and I had some good times, remember? And don't forget it was me that saved you from those bounty hunters! Or did you forget? Sheesh." He shook his head as he followed the Valeyard out. "Oh well, let's let bygones be bygones, right? Good times are ahead!"
Frobrisher took in the surroundings with delight. "Yes! This is more like it! Color! People! Action! And paving!" He looked down at his clawed feet scrabbling along. "It's hard to run on grass with these feet. Good for water, not so good in dirt. But paving yeah! I can make good headway now!"
He paused to glance at a small carnival in the nearby park. "Hey that looks like fun! Let's try that afterwards, Doc! Try a couple of games! Wait!" He did a quick run to catch up with the valeyard's gait. "Reminds me of the time on Grabbart Four. I was after this Rankul character called 'Skeebee'. Nasty sort of thief but the funny thing was, he loved merry-go-rounds! Would ya ever think of that, Doc? Every evening before the park closed there he was, in line for a ride. I took to taking the form of one of the horses there so I could nail 'im. Unfortunately he seemed to choose ME for his daily ride! Ever have a Rankul sit on you? Ugh! They're HEAVY and they STINK! After I was able to get the goods on him and nail his butt to jail I had to soak in a hot tub for about 4 hours before i could stand myself again. Oh great! A food joint! Great choice!"
He hopped onto the chair opposite of the Valeyard and also plucked up a menu, not easy with flippers but he was accustomed to it. "Hmm, the drinks they have here aren't as varied as the place I used to have but...."
The reminder of what he had lost struck Frobrisher once more and he allowed the menu to droop down. He gave a heavy sigh. "Well, mebbe I ain't as hungry as I thought." 'Oh Caralla, I miss you! Miss you so badly!' he thought as a tear ran its way down the side of his beak.
