[He can tell Hugo's shocked at this revelation, huddling down into a quiet ball to process that information. That was fine, he would take over while the truth settled for him. It wasn't something he imagined would come out during a discussion with a seagull crime boss, but then again, these birds weren't known for their subtlety.
He would owe Hugo an explanation after this. Or as close to one as he could get.
The seagulls pay it no mind as they inch closer, all seeming to want a contribution.
'That so. Well, what's that gotta do with us? We're just as pissed.']
We would like your aid in our search. You are birds of land, sea and sky. There is no ground you cannot cover with those wings of yours. Naturally, we would not do this without compensation. These fries are our 'deposit', and once Lighter has returned, a portion of the paycheck that this young man here provides Lighter will be to buying your little flock food. Whether that be fries or fish or fried dough.
You can trust me to hold to my word.
[The seagull blinks as he thinks this over, turning to Hugo and hopping closer to take that fry.
'So lemme get this straight. We just gotta find the guy and tell ya where he is. Then, we're set for life on these little suckers and maybe even some fish. Kinda swindlin' of ya to promise somethin' comin' from another guy. I like it.
Don't worry, we knows the places inside and out. We'll find this guy of yours.'
Flins lays out the basket for some of the other seagulls to take as he turns towards the leader, who has now taken to Hugo's offerings more than his.]
