Well, maybe if Pancakes hadn't been walking around the color of a perfectly cooked pancake like that, she wouldn't have been named after a delicious breakfast food with a lot of sentimental value to Summer, dammit!

"I'll try to keep a close eye on it," Summer assured him, with a nod, giving it another squeeze before setting it on the bar, for right now, because it was too cute to put away just yet. "And, if it does eat anyone, we could just blame Steph for selling sometimes-sentient plush gelatinous cubes in the first place. And then we can blame the manufacturer and maybe sue, and then we'll get a nice payout from the class-action lawsuit settlement. Everyone wins."

A pause.

"Except whoever does get eaten."

Hey, actually, it was a good size for eating squirrels, now that you mention it...
