Milton sounds like he was a very unhappy individual, but at least you seemed to have a little fun. I really liked the way you depicted the dragon just hovering in the air.

Funny. And, in a way, sad. Very down-to-earth approach, this seems like just some regular observation in some normal restaurant. Very well written, I was entertained. Good work.

I love the description of the Asian dragons. They truly come to life as something mystic and awesome at the same time.

The couple reminds me of the couple from keeping up appearances :)

A nice and well written scene. I liked the Asian dragons being in the story.

*laughs* I quite like the humor. It was all very natural and flowed quite well.

such a wonderful snapshot of a relationship... loved it Hauke...

*gives him a hug... yes yes yes... ate my spices and all of that...

V.

Don't let my badger see you hugging me!

Could it be any better? The prof, an easy observation of a hen-pecked (no pun intended) husband, bovines and a story so easily told that it's pure genius. Reminding sometime to hate you for doing that.
+faved.
(If I could fave it twice I would. But I can't. So I won't. So there. Be happy with just d'one, awright?)

It was just a matter of timing..I can't take credit for that!

Oh my, that's a very good one. Caught me by surprise. Love it! You have a wry sense of humor, basilisk.

If I could draw well, this would have been a comic instead of a short story..

lovely. the dragons of the air and the very earthbound bovines. such an interesting visual, so bizarre and yet it fits so well in this little fictive world here. Thank you for sharing and letting us watch as well.

also "the dragons are good at making you think it's self selected." An enviable talent in the hospitality biz and a wonderful observation :)

Yeah, the secret formula to a happy marriage = 'Yes, dear.'

I like the hinting at the different anthros being possibly genetically created, or am I reading the "couple of generations above us" comment wrong? But elderly bovines... Heh. I've seen similar cranky people in public places and it can be really embarrassing just to be nearby as one shrews at the other. The visual impact of Asian dragons floating over the tables as they served folks their meals was a really neat image in my mind...

I just meant they were older...older than my parents (actually, I'd have only one parent!), perhaps older than my grandparents...they were old. :>

*chuckles* Ah. I don't always "get it"... Heh. I keep looking for other stuff under the skin of things- natural-born conspiracy-theorist, except I'm too rational. *giggle* Still a good scene, though!
