Hello? Is this even working? Hello?

I hate to be an inconvenience but could a consort of this planet be so kind as to explain to me how I ended up here? And why I woke up next to a human man who keeps trying to kiss me... I swear if this is one of Mister Hussie's "trollings" I'm going to be severely put out with him. Changing someone's entire species and dropping them on an alien planet when they're trying to bring a recovering patient soup is incredibly ru-

Oh no! Mister Slick!

His soup is going to get cold.

[Around Mayfield.]

[hussistant]

That's him, yes.

[headfullofempty]

Really? How d'you know the boss?

[She seems so much nicer than the people Slick usually hangs around with.]

[hussistant]

Boss...? Oh! You must be a member of his crew. [Her voice takes on a sympathetic tone.]

He's in my and Mr. Hussie's care at the moment while he recovers.

[headfullofempty]

Yup! Clubs Deuce, at your service.

[Wait. What did she just say?]

Recovers from what? Did something happen to him?

[Worried suddenly.]

[hussistant]

Hello, Mr. Deuce. It's a pleasure to meet you at last. Mr. Slick has mentioned you from time to time.

[Oh no, she said too much.]

Just...some minor alterations. We've been taking very good care of him though, don't worry.

[headfullofempty]

Oh, that's good. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to the boss.

Thanks for looking after him.

[hussistant]

[Oh honey, you have no idea.]

It's been a pleasure, for me at least.

He's been stabbing Mr. Hussie since day one.

[headfullofempty]

Haha, yeah. He sure does like stabbing people. But if he stabs you and doesn't kill you, it usually means he likes you.

[hussistant]

What if he hasn't tried stabbing you though?

[headfullofempty]

Then either he really likes you, or he just hasn't noticed you yet.
