Pancake invited for dinner

Who: Justin Pancake
Where: Mollopod Kingdom of Little Cheftonia
When: after meeting a few Mollopods in a quiet little town
Justin took a deep breath to address the Mollopods. More had just come
out to see him. They obviously didn't get many humans landing in their
small town.
"Mollopod people... the... erm... JMC have come to help you. But first
you have to show your gratitude by giving me lots of beer and wine!"
There were lots of approving nods and one of the leading men who
seemed to be wearing an eloquent toga sent some women off for the alcohol.
Meanwhile, a few whispers started to circulate around the crowd. "I've
heard Humans taste lovely. Pass it on!"
A Mollopod spokesman stepped forward from the astonished crowd.
"Greetings, I am Mayor Freese Tivis-Pinn-Rion , welcome to our humble
town."
Justin staggered over and shook his stumpy little hand. He was trying
to make a good impression and hoped to hell he didn't cock up.
"We've never had a spokesperson from the JMC here before, but we've
heard of the great alliance between out two people on the news and are
very keen to be friends."
Justin smiled gladly. "Great! I thought you might all try and eat me
or something!"
Freese Tivis-Pinn-Rion looked offended at this, or maybe he looked
like Justin had stumbled upon his plan. Justin backtracked by saying
"Soz dude, I mean... I didn't think that you WOULD eat me. I'm not
stereotyping you as monsters that just eat Humans or anything.
Although I know that Mollopods do... occasionally. But I hope you don't!"
Freese smiled. "Don't worry. I believe in the Alliance too strongly
between our peoples. I don't think going back to being enemies would
be good for either of us. Although I admit, I love a bit of human in
lemon sauce, I'll restrain myself!"
Justin laughed nervously. "Haha.... good joke!"
Freese Tivis-Pinn-Rion's face was deadly serious, although some people
behind him laughed. "I wonder, oh great Ambassador of the JMC... would
you dine with me and my family tonight? It would be great to get to
know you more."
Justin bit his fingers nervously. It all sounded like a trap just to
get him on a dinner plate. "I'm not sure.. I've got orders to meet up
with the rest of my crew and fight these Amnesty International baddies."
"Oh, I'm sure you have time." said Freese Tivis-Pinn-Rion. "If you
need, I can call your superiors and formally ask the JMC to give you
some extra time so that you can stay with us for an extra day or two...."
Justin felt himself get warm under his collar. If this Mollopod Mayor
contacted the JMC formally, it would mean that William Eckerslike
himself would know of his whereabouts. Given the way Justin had legged
it from the JMC bosses house, the big man might be angry at him and
want to contact him.
"Oh I'm sure it'll be fine." Justin said. "I'm starving, and I doubt
my Captain will mind me being out of contact for a while."
Freese nodded. "I will call my wife and tell her we're having you for
dinner."
Justin gulped.
