Lucas:Don’t keep your readers in suspense!!

Lucas:uh huh yep sure uh huh

August 4th

Lucas:where’s my bottle of tarragon?

Armand:I don’t know what tarragon is.

Armand:There was a bottle that smelled weird.

Armand:I may have put it on the front step.

Lucas:THAT WAS GOING TO GET USED IN A VERY DELICIOUS BATCH OF SOUP YOU SWINE

Armand:You seem upset.

Armand:Sorry about your soup.

Lucas:alas somehow I shall persevere

Lucas:seriously though, is ramen all you eat? bc I’m pretty sure there are some nutritional guidelines against that

Armand:The modern world was built by ramen eaters.

Armand:I also partake of the occasional canned meat delicacy. Any relation to Barclay Beef? I believe it makes up more than seventy-eight percent of my DNA at this point.

Lucas:funny you should say that

Lucas:little did you know that you are, in fact, speaking to Mr. Beef himself

Armand:Wait are you serious

Armand:?

Armand:Oh my god. I feel like I’m meeting royalty. Except you’re not a complete waste of space and public funds. Wow. Heir to the Beef.

Lucas:I’ve been a vegetarian for more than a decade so I don’t really have anything to do with the Beef Family Legacy except to use that money to help our horses

Lucas:oh my god I hate that so much, you are not making heir to the beef happen

Armand:Too late. It’s already happened.

Armand:Wait, is that where the meat comes from? The horses?

Lucas:BITE YOUR TONGUE WHATS WRONG WITH YOU
