[chocolate eating, tribble skewering dragon. Does the world get any better?]

[the next time Temeraire stops at a vendor (if he does stop again and looks ready to pay for something), Toby is going to attempt to be smooth and swoop in, smiling at the vendor before Temeraire can pay]

I've got this one. Sorry, I wasn't quite sure how to break the ice, I figured this could be the marketplace equivalent of "can I buy you a drink?" Hopefully not too forward? [Toby doesn't even care how lame he might seem right now, he's talking to a dragon. Best day.]
