Luke's, Thursday

[betterthanaplan]

"Yep," Duke patted the polar bear on the back. "Thanks, bud."

It didn't matter how long he lived here; he didn't think he'd ever get over a polar bear walking up, giving him a hug, and handing him a bottle of coke.

At least the paint-stripping power of the soda might finally rid him of the ghost of Summer's crab salad shots Lucifer had brought home last night. . . .

CATCH OF THE DAY!
Crab salad stuffed avocados
Come see what crab salad is SUPPOSED to taste like!

Was it seasonal? No. Did Duke care? Also no.

Luke's was open and OCD free.

"... Crab salad here, too?"

Those shots had not counted, Tavi.

(Also yes, the polar bears seemed to merit less of a mention.)

[betterthanaplan]

"No," Duke said. "It's only crab salad here. Those shots last night didn't count."

[okteiviakom]

"Why not?"

She knew why not. She just wanted to hear what he'd say, while she came up to the counter.

[betterthanaplan]

"Because it was a jello shot," Duke said. "And that's not the kind of lime that goes well with crab."

[okteiviakom]

"Uh huh," Octavia said, innocently, like she hadn't actually heard some of this last night already. Her expression was beginning to tilt a little wry. "So now you're educating the island?"

[betterthanaplan]

"Yes," Duke said. "Yes, I absolutely am."

[okteiviakom]

"And me?"

[betterthanaplan]

"You already know better," Duke pointed out. "I'm pretty sure half the dock could hear me last night."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia snorted. "Yeah, but was there any actual crab salad?" she asked, in turn.

[betterthanaplan]

"Is this you ordering the special?" Duke asked with a snort. "Because I'll give that to you whether you need the education or not."

Octavia rolled her eyes at him, but it was good-natured.

"Just feed me, jaka."
