“Disjointed arm-wielding crony, eh?” the halibut asked. “Not bad, but I don’t think Baby liked it.”
The big baby grabbed Theo by the neck, stomped over to the door, and tossed him out of the tavern.
“And stay out!” Ludwig said as the baby slammed the door.

“Disjointed apple juice addict, eh?” the halibut asked. “That’s pretty accurate, I’d say.”
The big baby laughed so hard that he fell off the bar.
“We have a winner!” the halibut yelled, holding up Theo’s hand.
“I want a rematch,” Ludwig said, stomping up and down.
“Give me your arm,” Theo said.
“Keep dreaming, teddy!”
“I said give me your arm.”
Ludwig laughed, and Theo ripped his arm off and hit him over the head with it.
“Thanks.”
Ludwig tried to get up, but the big baby stomped over and sat on him.
“Baby doesn’t like you,” the halibut said.
Ludwig struggled under the baby and then groaned.
Theo plucked off Ludwig’s pointer finger and threw the rest of the arm back at him. “Change of heart.”
He left the bar, and everyone cheered at him.

“Lanky brussels sprout eater?” the halibut asked. “I hate brussels sprouts!”

“I’m a fizzle-tiddle rumpus ball? Arrgh,” Ludwig growled. “That was pretty good, I’ll admit.”
The big baby giggled.
“Baby liked it,” the halibut whispered to Theo. “Keep it up.”
