“Michigan won’t survive if you two are neighbors.
Mobius, you rat us out on this, I will forget to plug you in for a week, don’t think I won’t.” Mobius made the sad two-beep sound like R2-D2. “And use your words, dammit. I just bought you the Samuel L. Jackson voice package. You said you wanted that one.” “Motherfucker,” Mobius chimed in helpfully.
No one wanted him to have much sugar, the meanies.
“Nico, keep in mind that if you get injured on this job, neither of us will let you play alone with a swamp monster ever again.”
“What are you going to conjure?” “What’s the biggest, baddest lizard you can think of?” “Godzilla,” Nico answered promptly. “Exactly.”

Oh. Well, when put that way, sure. Nico’s excitement rose. “That means you’ll be nearby to play with me.” “Hell yeah, man.” Visions of things they could do danced through Nico’s head. His voice turned dreamy. “We’re going to get into so much trouble together.”

Amphibians molt. But most consume the skin to replace the protein lost from being unable to eat during molting. Amphibian molting and reptile molting are slightly different from each other.
“How was the cave, Tigger?” “Boring as fuck, man. Bel only let me in there because he knew there was absolutely no danger, am I right?” “Sounds like him.” “You’re all killjoys, I hope you realize this.” “It’s a grave sin of ours that we’ll repent for. Eventually.
