In light of everything we've been seeing, I'm tickled by the mental image of this being Nik's outward persona on a regular basis

Hmm hmm yes.

very nice :D

Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land
See 'em with their trousers off, they're never quite as grand

"Mmmgood sah, have you found any fine cheeses to serve with the wine at dinner with Felix later?"

"Why yes, dear Sergal friend! Just yesterday in the refuse bins of the somellier on the edge of uptown.

"Mmmquite, quite. Yes, sah. So what are you serving the dear otter lad?"

"I believe we'll be having fine smoked Nova Scotia Salmon, followed by the Chardonnay with that cheese I'd mentioned... and for dessert... my ass."

"Mmmah. Of course good sah. Your otter does seem to be quite the consummate callipygian connosieur."

"Indeed. He also enjoys popping my personal cork, the one down my trousers."

"Mmmvery good, Nik. I shall leave you anon, to partake in your carnal matters. Good day!"
