The Emergency Interim Substitute Tiger Keeper certainly is an ungrateful sort. The previous one had his own goals but at least he paid the proper amount of lip service to the court after we brought him creatures and comfort.

With his replacement, after we went to the trouble of covering their ancestral shame and were permitted to pet the Banded Prince a singular time to no lasting effect, they choose to say our tribute is worth less as we pay more.

We should excise tigers from the city until they relearn to trade fairly.
