Hot chocolate for sale

There is a small red Fox in the Nexus today, standing nearby a hot chocolate stand, and every now and then keeping his paws warm by an open fire he has going in a trashbin.

He has found some warmer clothes to wear, now that the Nexus is in full winter mode.

The snow is still curious to him.

"Fresh Hot Chocolate! Come and get it!"

"Seriously... how do you non-furred creatures stay warm right now?" He stands near his bin fire again.

"Maybe you need more clothes, then. It doesn't get this cold where you're from?"

Well, he can't argue with that. He looks over Nick's little stall. "Good location for it," he remarks. "Where'd you get the chocolate?"

"Why would you, you're not an arctic fox," Caspar remarks dryly. "Maybe you should invest in a heavy coat. It can get a lot colder than this in the Nexus."

Elephants remind him of the coffee the Joker sent him and his mouth puckers a little in distaste. "I wouldn't use that as a selling point around here. It sounds unsanitary."

Aw, crap, now he feels bad. "If you don't find anything, I can ask my wife to knit you something." He gestures to the scarf around his neck. "She's always looking for someone to knit for."

The question surprises a genuine smile out of him. "You've asked the right person. I'm not human, but I do know how to make coffee. You need roasted beans, a grinder, and a really good coffee machine. Don't skimp on any of those. A press works fine as a manual device, but a machine will brew more efficiently."

"By hand," Caspar replies. "You can't use a machine to pick the fruit, it'd damage the trees." He's not sure what point Nick is trying to make. He's imagining elephants using their trunks to make coffee, and washed hands seem a lot more sanitary than a washed nose.

The Cylon smiles reflexively at the compliment. "Generous to a fault," he notes. "I'll have to remind her about your size. She's used to larger scale projects. She made a scarf for a dinosaur last winter."
fiveofnone: (sorry I was too busy not caring)

Caspar would likely feel better about things if he saw how similar Zootopia is to a human city, but right now all he can think about are elephant noses. Sorry, Nick.

"Yeah," he agrees with an amused smirk. "She says it's easier to knit for a dinosaur because you don't have to worry about when to stop." He gives Nick a thoughtful once-over. "Shouldn't take her too long. But if you do make some cash, I'm sure there are stores around here that cater to your size." He'd recommend a tailor, but that might be outside Nick's means.

In a world without anything close to humans, he most certainly would cause a stir.

"Mmm, to be honest, I don't think she'd accept. It's not a charity thing, she just likes to do nice things for people." His mouth twitches in amusement. "You can ask the dinosaur if you don't believe me. I think he goes by Prince now."
