"Well, well, well, Happy Birthday Little Codfish"
*Tock appears, putting a huge fat hand on James's shoulder, before giving him a golden hook*
"A little gift for you that I got back home, suits you, I think"
*The crocodile boy laughs, his lard jiggling as he does. Then he lowers his head to the level of James, and whispers*
"Not that it will help ya getting out of the crocodile pit, my tasty fish filet"

(James freezes up when he feels Tock's hand on his shoulder, and hears his voice. He gulps nervously, turning red in the face immediately, and slowly turns, expecting to see a gaping maw...and legitimately surprised when he instead sees a golden hook being held before him. Curiously, he takes it from Tock, blushing as the beast laughs and his belly wobbles.) James: Oh. Well, ah...thank you, mate! Really, this is shockingly sweet of you! Such stupendous metalwork, I'll make sure to place this in a spot of honor in my-hold on, what did you just say. O////////O
