[Riz is learning one thing very quickly: parents are embarrassing. It's usually fine with his mom cause A, she is very cool, and B is generally too busy to chat with his friends about Riz. This though. Ugh.
So the reply Mando get is muttered in embarrassed teen-speak.]
I didn't get him the mug. He got it from his office cause I killed the guy who killed him.
[Pok meanwhile has found a new target to brag about his son to. The guys back in Heaven have long since heard every story he has to tell about Riz, and honestly, considering he usually doesn't get to be there, it is a little fun to embarrass his son a bit by being exceedingly proud of him. Makes things feel normal.]
This kid? Oh, he started swiping mine and Sklonda's mugs off the table when he was this tall. [Pok gestures somewhere around his knee, indicating that terrifying age when toddlers gain mobility but not self-preservation all that much.] We gave him a little, hoping the taste would turn him off, but I'm sure you can guess the rest.
