Raptor Red takes peculiar interest in Tony.

There might be a Tony sitting somewhere in the bar, reading a few newspapers. If you guessed that there probably is a Tony somewhere, you could quite possibly be right. But his mun will neither confirm nor deny that.

Raptors have no concept of newspapers. This makes Raptor Red very curious as to what one is.

"Snnnhhhrr?" She heads towards Tony, aiming to poke at the newspaper with her snout.

"Snnhrt. Snnhrt." She continues poking at the newspaper curiously. It sounds and feels vageuly like a leaf, but it's the wrong color. Idly, she decides to taste a corner.

There is only a thin barrier between Tony’s running away, screaming, and Tony sitting there shaking nervously like an actor in Jurassic Park.

Somewhere, Stephen Spielberg is cackling over the publicity his little film is getting on Milliways.

"Blech." Apparently, the taste of newspaper doesn't agree with the raptor. So instead her attention shifted to fuzzy tickbird who possessed the bad-tasting leaf. Her neck stretched out as she shoved his snout into Tony's shoulder, sniffing carefully. "Rhhhnn...."

At this point the mun would wholeheartedly recommend Tony pray directly to God or ask for the intercession of the saints. A combination of both would do him some good.

Whump!

Raptor Red withdraws her head then bumps it against Tony's shoulder-not particularly hard, but the move still has some force behind it. She turns her head, displaying the underside of her jaw.

…which only pushes Tony further in the booth. He’s fairly certain he can’t get out unless he tries to do some fancy footwork—and doesn’t he wish he had his gun now? He stares at the raptor, wide-eyed, for a moment, trying to calculate a move that won’t result in his untimely demise.

Whump!

Raptor Red headbutts his shoulder again, then turns her her to fix one reptilian eye on him. She lets out a sigh that could only be described as 'disgusted'. A dumb tickbird...he doesn't even know what to do.

Here would be the moment when Tony rolls under the table in the first stage of his grand escape, except for the scared-petrified part. He doesn’t move.

Meanwhile, the raptor just snort-sighs and turns away, wandering off into the bar. Time to find tickbirds that know how to scritch.

Tony sits there petrified for a moment. He might be on the verge of tears. Right now he really wishes there was a church where he could fall on his knees and praise the Lord that he actually survived that little scenario.

At the very least, he can give Michelle a big fat hug and kiss next time he sees her.
