"So, there's another reason I asked you here tonight..."
Both furs sat on the patio of William's home which overlooked the beaches of Port Zaftig from a tall hill nearby. It was early in the evening. The air was still quite warm, and the wolf had changed into an colossal pair of shirts, his upper body bare, exposing a sea of rolls and folds.
"Oh? And what's that?" Evan took a sip of his rum and coke.
"Well, I'm retiring. From competitive eating, that is. Not all of it, though. I'll leave the door open when it comes to major events. But when it comes to the smaller competitions, I'm pretty much done. I've got other things to focus on! My clothing line, my television show, you know."
"Alright, that's good. But what does your retirement have to do with me?" asked the lion.
"This is going to sound crazy, but I want a...protégé. I want you to be my protege!"
The lion choked on his drink a little. "What? Me? Why? I've never done any sort of competitive eating! And I've never really been interested in it."
"I think you have potential!" William assured Evan. "And you'll have me to support you! I can teach you all the tricks I know! You'll be a natural soon enough!"
"Maybe," Evan said. "I have some reservations about it."
"Come on! The money's really good! I won't even take any sort of fee or anything! It's not like I need the cash anyways!"
"But still, I'm not sure about, well..." The lion eyes up William's naked torso, a shapeless blob of lard.
The grey wolf laughed, his whole body wobbling as he did so. "You mean this?" He grabbed one of his rolls and gave it a hearty shake. "This is more my fault than anything else. I've never been that keen on exercise, so I didn't really bother with burning off everything I ate. Besides, not all completive eaters are fat! Haven't you seen Tajiri Hakimono? That guy is thinner than you and even he'll give me a run for my money! So, what do you say, Evan? Please?"
