Bromford and Budgie …

 

Why is the llama shaking its head?

»Another guest from down under?« the animal asks.

»Down under, animal?« I ask willingly misunderstanding or willingly not understanding.

»A U S T R A L I A, dude!« the llama is spelling the continent. »What happened to the super-cute koala-lady?«

I am shrugging.

»I ran out of Eucalyptus both, leaves and drops, so she went home to her mother's in Adelaide or somewhere around those Australian places. Did you know that Australia and Austria are literally not the same place?«

»Why do I get the feeling we have talked about all of this before, dude?«

The llama is chewing a gum and after a while the penthouse apartment smells like Eucalyptus. Coincidence?

»A budgie is a typical pet in some places of the world,« the animal remarks. »And a small one on top. What do you think, dude? Maybe there is room for the bird in its cage and for me your faithful and loyal animal companion in this penthouse apartment of yours on top of the apartment building at 666 Whitaker Lane in Bromford the friendly town by the bay and seaside?«

I have never before seen those teeth that yellow when the llama was grinning.

»We will see,« I mumble more to myself. »We will see.«
