#cool panda warrior (neera li)

Mr. Tinker was a little embarrassed by that slip of the tongue. How did he make that mistake?

"Right. Carol Tea. My mistake..."

A certain hedgehog android was almost as embarrassed as his creator.

Really, father...? He thought.

Upon being spoken to by the panda woman he was all too familiar with, Torque spoke up nervously.

"Y-yes. That's me. I'm Torque the Shellduck... Heh heh heh..."

He couldn't help but remember being imprisoned by the panda woman. That bad memory just led to a few more bad memories... But Torque shook them off. This was a time to celebrate Carol, not dwell on the past.

"A-anyway, everybody introduce yourselves to the nice lady!"

Despite how awkward Torque made things, everyone did as the Shellduck said.

"My name is Terios. I'm a friend of Carol's. She's the coolest wildcat ever."

"I'm Mr. Tinker. You can think of me as Terios' father figure. It's a pleasure."

"I'm Kat. I'm your friendly neighborhood Gravity Queen. Nice to meet you."

"And I am Sorrow. I look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion."

After the introductions, Torque spoke up again.

"S-so, then... Do we have permission to come in?"

Coral? Was this man looking for life in prison, associating with that name? Or did he simply misspeak?

She would assume the latter, mostly because it would be quite ridiculous for a certain mercenary to go back to her old ways, on the night that would be so important to her sister.

She bowed.

"Yes, you are at the right place for Carol Tea's wedding. I assume you are--

". . .

"Are you that shellduck man?"
