Ohhhhhh, he's a real good buddy of mine, I love that dumb old lizard! I'm gonna have to thank him for helping out. [Right under the bus, churned up under the wheels. The lizard is dead.] They are SUPER well-received. I love them!
[His ego has been fluffed and he's delighted. It's screwed Dan Heng over forever but life's sometimes like that.]
Great! You didn't have a choice either way, but great! What sort of things do you like?
[He knows it in his SOUL and that's what matters!!!]
...Okay, Honey? I'm gonna need you to work with me a little here. Like, say if you wanted something to eat right now what would you pick? No restraints.
[So help him he will figure you out, you socially awkward weirdo. He figured out Vittore, he can figure out you! ]
I would say surprise me. There's value in trying something you're not very familiar with.
[He would be sorry to Zulius, but this is the price of Dan Heng's friendship. Or something. Good luck, Zulius, this is shaping up to be a... Challenge, alright.]
[This is the most threatening thing he's ever heard, and this is coming from a man who had been chased halfway across the universe with murderous intent by Blade.]
I look forward to seeing what 'fun surprise' you have for me, Zulius. I can text you which days and times that I'm free.
[You can run but you cannot hide. He WILL be following this up in a few days to make sure you didn't FORGET. He will never let it go. You better watch out. You better watch out.

Oh, no, this question. This question is one he's always been terrible at answering.]
If you're talking about food, I don't have strong feelings one way or another.
[If you put it on a plate in front of him, he'll eat it without complaint.]

Okay, you know what? Fine, it's FINE. Mamma Bunter didn't raise no quitter. I'll surprise you. And it'll be a great surprise. You'll have fun.
[This is both a promise and a threat. ]

Great! And I'm looking forward to it too. Until then!!!

Mm.
[That's all Zulius gets before Dan Heng hangs up on him. He turns off his phone immediately and goes to lie down for a bit to process... all of this.]
