Maybe it was for the best. A baby cat-gator would probably make a mess.

[gunlabels]

Yeah... you're probably right. He still was heckin cute though.

[heartgear]

Did you get the name of the kid?

[ He wants to see a cat-sized alligator......... ]

[gunlabels]

He made me so mad that I forgot to ask for it...

[heartgear]

Well... I'm sure we'll all be here a while. You'll probably run into hims again later.

[gunlabels]

Don't say that! Now I really am going to see that brat again!

HIMS LOL sorry

[heartgear]

If you run into him again, maybe you can ask about the cat-sized alligator. Where it came from, how long he's had it....

i didnt even notice ffff

[gunlabels]

I'd rather ask him where he learned his terrible manners from.

[heartgear]

Going to teach him a lesson?

[gunlabels]

No way. I'll have to pass on that.

[heartgear]

You can't complain about him having bad manners and then not offer to teach him proper ones. That's bad manners, Reo.

[gunlabels]

If he hasn't learned manners this late in life then he'll never learn them.

[heartgear]

Isn't he just a kid?

[gunlabels]

He's a teenager I think... which is close enough.

[heartgear]

Hmm....

[ Mabu isn't going to judge Reo, but he does think it's a little harsh. Still, teenagers and kids can be pretty stupid. ]

If I happen to see him, I'll definitely be asking about his pet....

[gunlabels]

Maybe he'll be nicer to you because you're easy to get along with.

[heartgear]

I wouldn't say that's true... I'm just less outgoing.

[gunlabels]

You don't need to be outgoing to be easy to talk to. I think you're a lot better than I am.

[heartgear]

You think so...? But back in Asakusa, practically everyone knew who you were. They were happy to see you on patrol.

[gunlabels]

That's just because I'm loud and noisy. But people liked you too..!

[ You know, when he went out on patrol and not hanging out with otter for maintenance.

[heartgear]

They did?

[ Mabu seems floored by this revelation. Whenever the two of them walked down the street, it was "Hi Reo-chan!" and "What's up, Reo-kun?" He wasn't sure anyone even noticed him unless someone was in trouble or needed something. ]

[gunlabels]

You mean you never heard the way those sweet old ladys in the neighborhood talked about you?

[heartgear]

I don't think so, no. I just recall them being very fond of you.

[ Which was 100% fair. ]

[gunlabels]

They always went around talkin' about how great the foods you made smelled and saying stuff like whoever you have eyes for must be real lucky.

[heartgear]

They did...?

[ Mabu's always kind of felt that he was just along for the ride, but hearing that really does warm his heart. Which -- yep, there go sparks. They linger for much longer than usual this time, bright and shiny and golden. ]
