shorty!
"Kale, Tofu and quinoa… I don't know how you subsist off that Rabbit food, Terry."
It was late at night, and the two of them were standing at the sticky outdoor counters of a burger stand. Mary was hungrily digging into her burger, and Terry had just consumed his second. After a couple of days of eating Chef Howard's food, both she and Terry needed to sink their teeth into some meat.
"(Chewing) whelp… thing is, after this whole… Freeman thing, Rock has been a little iffy about meat…"
Mary gave him a look. According to Terry, Rock had swapped bodies with Iori, got possessed by Iori's split personality, and the result was Freeman - who ran about the city eating people's innards. Mary wasn't entirely sure if she believed him - but right now Iori Yagami (the chief murder suspect) was stuck in the ICU under Chizuru Kagura's care. Mary was in charge of the Freeman case, and needed to interrogate the red-haired loon. Investigation was on hold until he returned to SouthTown.
Regardless, Mary nodded in tentative understanding. If Rock really had been unwillingly munching raw livers for the past couple of days, he certainly might have a (at least temporary) aversion to meat.
Terry continue to complain.
"He seemed pretty normal until we had lunch on the flight from Tokyo back home. He just got finished telling me the most insane story… then started into the pork chop… immediately, grabbed the barf bag and puked it up."
Mary raised her eyebrows.
"And ever since, he won't even look at meat - much less cook it. As far as I can tell, he's gone vegan… and I think he's developed an unhealthy obsession with essential oils. A ton of stuff keeps getting delivered to the house, and I swear his room smells like a perfume shop."
Mary chuckled.
"Wow… next think you know he's gonna grow his hair super long and start investing in healing crystals."
Terry just looked worried.
"Don't give him any ideas…"
