The ridgeback chuckled. "Nice. Here you go, kid." She gave Pipp the 1000 treasure and some salt that Caecil had brought along for the trip for some reason. He was probably worried that he would eat french fries that "weren't salty enough". She only took enough so that Caecil wouldn't notice.
She grabbed a ridgeback-sized bucket of popcorn and brought it back to Caecil.
He could feel that she was coming through vibrations in the ground, but it sounded heavier than usual. "Are you carrying something, Volt?"
"Yeah! I got a truckload of popcorn! You want some?" She said as she sat down, and stuffed a handful of popcorn in her mouth.
"Uh... no thanks. Popcorn is salty and would make me thirsty. I don't want to be thirsty during a race. Why would you even buy that much popcorn??"
"Why wouldn't I? We have water, we'll be fine!" She stuffed another handful in her mouth. "Suit yourself, then."
Suddenly, she lost her grip and almost dropped the bucket. Luckily, she caught it, but a quarter of the popcorn fell out and spilled all over the much smaller mirror. Volt bursted out laughing as Caecil shook his body like a wet dog. There was popcorn all over him! What irritated him the most is that is was EXTREMELY salty, and now he was covered in salt! It was behind his crest/ears?, between his wings where he couldn't reach, and under his claws.
"VOLT!" He hollered. Volt just laughed even harder. "Stop laughing! Look at what you did. This will take forever to clean up!"
"Gosh Caecil, calm down! Don't be so
salty!" She was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. As she rolled around on the floor, crying, Caecil groaned in frustration. He couldn't help but lick some salt off of his chest (but only when he was sure nobody was looking), and then sauntered off to the bathroom where hopefully, he could wash himself off before the race.
He came back, but he knew there were still specks of salt he couldn't reach. Volt was still stuffing popcorn in her mouth. He started to giggle.
Salty. It was kinda funny.
