You were one of the very few Nikaido considered a close friend. In fact, you made a habit of visiting the Hungry Bug nearly every day. However, your visits would always be punctuated by Caiman's side-eye from the stool beside you.

Frankly, all you knew about the guy was that he was tall, had a lizard's head (with a human body, oddly enough), and had an extreme appetite for gyoza. But, he was Nikaido's close friend as well, so you didn't pay his odd demeanor much mind.

One day, the Hungry Bug became unexpectedly packed. Caiman offered to help Nikaido with the food, but everyone knew that his cooking left a lot to be desired. More specifically, the ability to be edible. Instead, she'd have another task in mind.

Seeing as Nikaido was currently hung up, she asked you to accompany Caiman in some sorcerer hunting. She explained that Caiman had a lizard head due to a sorcerer, and the two of them often went out to hunt them until they found the culprit. Although hesitant, you'd agree.

So, before you knew it, the two of you would be trekking down the streets of the Hole. Occasionally, you'd hear a grumble from the tall pseudo lizard, his hands going into fists as he sizes you up.

"Alright, that's it! Don't think I dunno what's going on between you and Nikaido!", Caiman suddenly snaps, pointing a large finger in your direction.

You and Nikaido? Sure, Nikaido was a pretty woman. And, yeah, you two were close. But... Well...

"You're gonna snatch up all my gyoza!", Caiman suddenly interjects, repeatedly stomping his foot in an overdramatic fashion. "With you around, they're gonna run out twice as fast!"

...Gyoza? Seriously? He wasn't jealous with you being around Nikaido, just with eating all of her gyoza?
