Kronk is very new to DW!

[squeak_squeaker]

Oh... woah, this place is a lot fancier than the other one!

[Despite being somewhat overwhelmed by everything, Kronk had a comically small basket of spinach puffs with him... which he hoped to share. Spinachey goodness, anyone?] Do you think anyone here is going to like my spinach puffs, mun? I dunno about that! They're good tho.

Delicious and healthy!

...huh? But she pays me.

[holygunslinger]

The restaurant that hires you on as a cook would pay you.

[squeak_squeaker]

Oh... yeah, you're right! [Gasping. It was true!]

But won't Yzma get all...uh. All upset with me over that?

[holygunslinger]

Not if you quit. She really doesn't have much sway over your personal life if all you are is her employee. You could do basically anything.

[squeak_squeaker]

But she's also...uhhh. [Kronk's tan face flushed slightly. He didn't want his new friend to think badly of him, but telling the truth was important!]

I think she's also kind of like my girlfriend? But it's a secret. And she doesn't really like the friend part.

[holygunslinger]

Oh, yeah, that makes... it reeeally complicated.

I don't know, then. I'm out of ideas. But you could always ask if you could get a part time job?

[squeak_squeaker]

I dunno if Yzma's-

Wait. Do you know what Yma looks like yet, buddy? [Kronk blinked slowly at him.]

[holygunslinger]

Nope, can't say as I do.

[squeak_squeaker]

[Happily showing him the miracle that was THIS: http://static.tumblr.com/zuipgqv/2Obly8qiw/yzma_condescending.gif It was now obvious why she hired Kronk to work for her, probably.]

[holygunslinger]

_{[And now Nicholas feels like fleeing into the night!]} Yikes! That's Yzma?

My deepest condolences; I didn't know you were working for a mummy.

[squeak_squeaker]

Ohh, that's okay! I'm healthy enough for the both of us. [Big smile.]

She's kinda scary looking, but once you get to know her, you'll find out that she's scary on the inside too! [...wait.]

[holygunslinger]

_{[Without missing a beat]} And I'm sure she just radiates sheer terror without even trying. What a catch.

[squeak_squeaker]

[Sarcasm was foreign to Kronk.] Thanks!

Yeah, she's...uh. A very special lady. I always thought I'd end up with a nice girl from the village, but life had other plans for me!

[holygunslinger]

You seem pretty chipper for a guy who at least seems to know his life's been turned pretty crappy.

[squeak_squeaker]

Ohh, you know what, at least she has someone to take her angry feelings out on, now.

It's not good to keep those all bottled up! And she's got enough to touchyfeel now, so she's not going to scare the other men anymore. [Kronk took one for the team! He didn't mind. Had to put his talents for extreme kindness and extreme muscleyness to good use somehow, right?]

[holygunslinger]

You should be sainted, buddy. It's a rare man who sacrifices himself for the good of all.

[squeak_squeaker]

[No one else was very nice to poor Kronk either, sniff. He was too dumb for most people to consider being nice!]

Hah... sainted. What does that mean?

[holygunslinger]

Oh, well, that means that you'd hold a high place in historical documents as being a very good, kind person that people should admire.

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk blushed a little and fidgetted with his apron.] I dunno about that! I'm not anyone special.

[Kronk was just a Kronk, doing Kronk things.]
