Snackers

No one knows his real name, everyone just calls him Snackers!

This is Torbin's first pride son - odds are because he came out looking just like her. He found his passion with a hybrid of inventing new contraptions as customary to all residence of the lightning flight- and cooking. Exil' put him to work real quick once he saw such a luqrative hobby. Though the Inn sports no 5 star quality dishes, it beats eating dirt.
Whenever he cooks, he can not do it wile others are looking. The moment everyone turns their back he can prepare a dish in 10 seconds flat. He always makes sure that his mommy has a packed snack before going on a run.

Frequently helps out his best friend Tigana with befriending the familiars they gather - and their seen in aiding with the meals!

"That's my brother, Tigana! Him and I are always working on new gadgets in our workshop together! And when he comes back from adventuring he brings back so much food to make great dishes with! I was even the one that made the implant for his voice box that allows him to talk! One day we both wish to become great inventors and work at The Spire and help KyaDil with her secret research! My favorite dish to make for him is stirfry but without the rice. We snack on this spread for a week since I always make it in bulk!"

"Banto always knows when I'm coming down the stairs because he can smell my cooking from so far away. It's so cute seeing his big bushy tail sway from side to side, I wonder if he ever notices he does that? I find it strangely satisfying seeing him eat nothing but raw greens. I try to mix up what flavors to get, and that's how I found out he's a very big fan of chilly peppers!"

"Why? Why, Why Why Why!? Why does Saeiqa like the taste of copper wires?? Hatchlings are the worst to cook for."

"I remember one day I was exploring in the Highland Scrub for some local samples, then saw this bush that isn't native to our territory. I thought I'd go pluck some samples from it and run some tests back home. I then was frozen stiff when a blue guardian raised its head to look at me. I... then ran away. I was so embarrassed. I didn't even know it was possible for dragons to grow things out of their body like that! Well... There is Tigana who grows cherry blossoms from his shoulder blades because of how excited he gets over Thundercrack Carnivale. But I thought, that was just, a ... 'Tigana' thing. Not a dragon-all-year-round' thing."

"I'm so happy Barkeep loves the Dodo Wings I make for him. I coat them in spices and leave all the excess hot peppers for Banto. That way the two of them can always enjoy a meal together, and they do quite frequently!"

"My dad's the best! Pappy helped me set up my research station that me and Tigana use all the time! Whenever I can I always try to incorporate Manyleaves into the dishes I make for him. That's my secret ingredient since Pappy adores how he feels all tingly afterward. It's been hard to hide those from him however since dad also helps keep the cooler all cold. Luckily though I always remember where he likes to look for things so I've been getting better at hiding them from him!"

"Whenever Excalibur is home I try to make the best dishes I can for him. I always pry on what his favorite food is and he'd insist that he'd bring back the ingredients to his favorite dish. But...! But he comes back with new stuff every time!! Sure, I've learned how to make so many dishes because of him, but it's been so frustrating because I just wanna give the guy a good gift! I've been starting to detect a pattern in the food he does bring back however. I think he likes to chew on things with a lot of blubber and I think sweetness??... I need more data!"

"Honestly whenever I see Lucrest in the Inn for a prolonged period of time is when I start to get a bit antsy. That normally happens when a bunch of guests are about to come into our lair. Many of them are insistent that we don't feed them, but they're all about to go to Stormcatcher! Of course I'm gonna feed them! Last good taste of the world before they gotta do the hard work, you know? As for Lucrest himself though, I dislike how he pecks at any leftovers I make for the other guests. I've been trying to get him to stop eating from my dirty pots by scraping what's left and making sandwiches for him. The man practically eats anything!"

"Oh!! Ushio!! He! Oh... He helped me big one time. See, not that long ago we were running really low on cacti. The bar was being slammed, everyone was out. So... I went out by myself to harvest some. But like a sandstorm hit and blew me around till I found myself in the middle of the Charged Barrens. I couldn't even find which way the Spire was! But then like, Ushio found me when he went to rest by a rock outcropping with me and he helped me get back home! I now sometimes see him a lot whenever I go gathering. He often has sugarcane and bamboo with him and we do a bunch of trading and cooking in the wilds! His ram is really cute too and loves the tall grass I grow in my little greenhouse back at home!"

"Anyone who meets my mom knows that she's super strong. I get nervous that I make her look bad in comparison. She's not around a whole lot, and sometimes I wonder if I'd see her more if I tried to get strong like her too. But I... I can't give up tinkering with things. I love it too much. Just once I'd... I'd wish she said she was proud of me because of the stuff I made, rather than the feats I could accomplish..."
