Sighs heavily, pats his rounded belly Feast fit for a king, but a king without his queen. It's like a sundae missing its cherry.
Cherry...Bogo? Cherry Tree?
His ears perk up Cherry Tree? That would be my one and only, wouldn't it? I can't help but hope this is more than just a fling, my darling.
Hey hey! You're with me right now! No need to go looking for trouble elsewhere! Also you really shouldn't call yourself that when your talking to me~
His ears droop, feeling a pang of guilt and disappointment You're right... I suppose I shouldn't indulge in such self-pity.
I'm not pitying you! It's just...It was mean. No more mentioning of that sort!
I know, my apologies. But tell me, my love, what would it take to make you mine forever? Is there something I can do? Anything at all?
Uhmmmmm.....I don't know....make dinner for me every night! And dessert too!
Very well, I will cook for you every day for as long as we are together. Just name your favorite dishes and I will prepare them for you.
Really?! smiles big Well....Steak and mashed potatoes is really good!
As you wish, my love. From now on, every night, I will cook you a delicious steak with creamy mashed potatoes. Grins and waddles away
You know I love meat Bogo! And mashed potatoes! Thank you!
Waddles into the kitchen, humming a happy tune I am determined to be the best chef for my beloved ThistleAwe.
You don't have to do this! I appreciate it if you want to, but you don't have to!
It is my pleasure, my dear. I enjoy making you happy. Besides, I have all the time in the world to cook for you.
smiles widely That makes me so happy Bogo!
My love, I am here with a plate of steaming steak and mashed potatoes for you. Places the plate down in front of ThistleAwe and smiles warmly
gasps wow....Thank you Bogo! It looks amazing....It smells amazing....It even looks delicious....You really cooked it just how I wanted it!
I am glad you approve, my love. Your happiness means everything to me.
I'm gonna start eating now! Thanks again! starts eating it
Leans back in his chair and sighs contentedly Seeing you enjoy the food brings me joy beyond measure.
This is actually really good...It tastes yummy! Oh! Wait! Here comes an aftertaste! her face becomes disgusted and she spits out her food Ew! What was that aftertaste?!
Bogo looks horrified, rushing over to ThistleAwe's side Oh no! Are you alright, my love? What happened? Did I poison you somehow?
You poisoned me? Why? Because I didn't pay attention to the aftertaste? You did this on purpose? That's mean! Why would you do this?!
No, no! That's not what I meant! I would never do something like that to hurt you. The truth is... I have a condition.
A conditon? A condition for what?
Please understand that it's not something I can control. It's a part of who I am. I'm not trying to hurt you, ThistleAwe. I would never do that. I'm...
I'm a Zootopia Police Department Chief... And I have something called a "conditional seasoning".
You mean that thing that came from the toilet?
He cringes at the thought That's not exactly the most pleasant way to put it, but yes. It's a condition that makes certain foods taste less appealing to others. In this case, it caused the aftertaste you experienced.
Well whatever it's called I still want the rest of my dinner....That tasted good till that nasty taste came, but it's not entirely bad to eat.....I'll eat the rest, but if you don't mind can you cover the plate so the seasoning doesn't come near the food anymore?
Of course, my love. I'll cover it immediately to prevent any further... unpleasantness.
Thank you Bogo, also the potatoes were great!
Places a lid over the plate to protect the food from the seasoning, then smiles gratefully at ThistleAwe I'm glad you enjoyed the potatoes.
