"You've got the Iron Bull here. I'm listening.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Oi, Cow.

[Despite the name, there's no bite to it, more out of just general fatigue than anything.]

You know Tetsuo ran off, right?

... again?

What happened?

...Pan did.

[And over the feed, he plays the audio from this conversation.]

Found it on his comm.

Fuck.

So we're going after him, right?

Yeah, he's one of ours, isn't he?

Damn right.

... I'm itching for a Pancake.

...Meet me outside Nonah 05, old man.

Breakfast time.

I'll bring the waffle iron.

[A beat, before he adds:]

... by that I mean, my hammer.

...

Waffle-irons don't make pancakes, you dumb cow.

It sounded better in my head, all right.
