Vur tilted his head. Gluttonous Gourt club?
Thats right, the dog said and stood up on its hindlegs. Its front paw tapped against its chest in what it thought was a reassuring manner. Im the leader of the Gluttonous Gourt club. You can call Sir Selddup.
Stella poked her head out of Vurs chest. You? she asked. Youre the leader?
Why? Sir Selddup asked, his furry face contorting into a scowl. Are you looking down on because Im a dog?
No, Stella said and shook her head. It just doesnt seem very leaderly of you to eat here.
Sir Selddup snorted. What would you know? he asked. Angelo is the only chef capable of bringing out the true flavors of reptile at. Its not my fault he refuses to beco my personal chef and chooses to work here instead as a ntor. As the leader of the Gluttonous Gourt club, I dont mind lowering myself to eat good food. Besides, its not like pride does anyone any good; it cant even be eaten.
Vur took a seat beside the white dog, sitting with his legs crossed. Do you know Ashley?
Sir Selddup snarled, his lips drawing back to reveal his teeth. Theres a lot of Ashleys, but if youre talking about the Light Lord, I know her. He squinted at Vur. In fact, she told about you. Its very rare for her to recomnd soone to join my club. Because you have her recomndation, theres just one thing you have to do to join.
Vur yawned and scratched his chest. What is it?
Its very simple, Sir Selddup said and withdrew a black box from his root bracelet. This is an audio recorder. All you have to do is say, the Light Lord is a terrible pet owner, and her brain has more holes than a cheese grater, and Ill let you join the Gluttonous Gourts.
Vur raised his head, angling it to the side. The hostess from earlier was approaching with a steaming, tal bowl. An awkward smile appeared on her face as she glanced around. Excuse , sir, would you like to eat at a table? she asked, her body turning towards an empty seat nearby.
No, Vur said. Table? What kind of dragon used tables? Without Tafel or Lindyss around, he didnt have to care about manners and all that. Vur raised his left hand, and a gust of wind sucked the tal bowl out of the hostess grip. It flew into Vurs waiting fingers, and he placed the bowl down on his calves. As if he were eating from a bag of chips, Vur dipped his hand into the bowl of steaming at and grabbed a piece. He brought it up to his mouth and stuffed the whole piece inside.
Sir Selddup gulped and stared at the bowl of food resting on Vurs legs. He turned his furry head towards the hostess and barked at her. Another bowl for too!
A dark expression appeared on the hostess face, but when she recalled how the dogs tail had expanded and crushed soone, who was still lying on the ground in a heap, she put her best business smile on and nodded. Right away, she said and turned around before walking away as fast as she could without running.
This is good, Vur said and licked his lips, his tongue lapping up the sauce around his mouth. What is it?
It is good, right? Sir Selddup asked, his face beaming as if he were the one that had been complinted. I didnt expect the person Ashley recomnded to actually have an appreciation of food. Most people wont even try fernted alligator at even though its a delicacy. Sir Selddup gulped again as he watched Vur stuff another piece of at into his mouth. Even without Ashleys recomndation, I would invite you to join my club, but I suppose I wouldnt be down here on the sa floor as you if it werent for her. Right, I still have to record you insulting her to let you in.
Let try so, Stella said and flew down from Vurs chest. She dipped her finger into the sauce and brought it up to her nose. She recoiled at the sll before sticking out her tongue, tasting the reddish-brown liquid. Her eyes lit up, and she grabbed a small piece of at with both her hands, almost falling into the bowl in the process. She turned her head towards the white dog. You eat food like this every day in your club?
No, Sir Selddup said and leaned to the side, looking past Vur towards the kitchen area. The hostess was talking an awfully long ti to co back with his food. It had almost been a minute! The dog sat back down on its haunches and licked its lips. A major part of the Gluttonous Gourts is discovering new and delicious foods. Sotis, the food is new but not delicious, you know what I an? After we eat a new al, we write down our thoughts and give it a thorough review. When we cant find any new als to try for the day, then well go through our old reviews and eat things we gave five stars.
Stella nodded as she chewed with a full mouth. She swallowed and let out a small belch. I see, she said. So, you guys are like food critics? Do restaurants pay you to review their als?
Even if they wanted to, we wouldnt accept, Sir Selddup said and shook his head. Our reviews are classified, only viewable by mbers of the club. If everyone and their mamas knew where all the good food ingredients were at, wouldnt we be shooting ourselves in the foot? If we published our reviews, dozens of ecosystems would definitely be destroyed, and we wouldnt be able to eat those dishes again.
That makes sense, Stella said and took another bite out of the piece of at she was holding. It didnt take much effort for her to rip a strip off with her teeth.
So, are you joining or not? Sir Selddup asked and held out the audio recorder.
