Page 60

After hours at the diner, the cook is helping Rico learn more about the different species that live in the city, their customs, and what they like or don't and how that affects the business.

Rico learns a lot about what things are popular among all of the Standard and what things are specific to certain worlds. A lot of this is done though the food and the diner's business. Rico laps this up and is on his way to becoming a true citizen of the Standard.

The cook makes Rico dishes from different worlds so he can better understand what the diner serves and help the customers choose what's good. Rico tries many new, exciting dishes but forces himself to choke down the others, no matter how vile it is. He fakes enjoying one particularly bubbling dish and gives the cook thumbs up as his face turns green and a small tentacle wriggles out of the side of his mouth.

The cook shakes his head as he takes away the bowl while Rico gags down what he tried. As the cook walks away, he mutters, "The rumors are true... Humans will stick just about anything in their mouths..."

Author's Notes:

I mean... It's not NOT-true but that seems kind of cruel to spread around. Poor gal is just trying to fit in. Peer pressure AND mouth tentacles are a vindictive combination.
