Part 561: Gaius A

Hello, Gaius! Do you have another pie for me?

You bet I do, baby! Now strap yourself in, and get ready to ride the flavor stallion!

Oh my goodness! I don't know if- Er, well, all right. Gimme that.

...Well?

*Horf, snarf, chomp, munch* Oh gods... So good... Soooooo gooooood...

We have a winner! Ding ding ding!

I wish there was more! But say, Gaius. Doesn't it get exhausting? Making pies all the time, I mean. Just gathering all the ingredients alone must be a full-time occupation.

You got that right. Even basic stuff is rare in times like these.

Then why do you do it?

I dunno. I guess I just like pie. Although there's a challenge to it that I find kind of fun, too.

And it's always nice to see fellow fighters' eyes light up when I bring 'em a snack.

Hmm...

You're humming. What's going on?

Gaius, I don't think you're being completely honest.

Huh? Honest Gaius is what they used to call me back in school! ...Well, that and Booger Brain. But mostly it was Honest Gaius.

Hmm... I suppose we'll see, won't we? But if you make another pie, you have to promise to bring it to me! All right?

What the lady wants, the lady gets!
