Ahhh, there's that Little Prince style reference. Complete with "Patrick as a classic Antoine de Saint-Éxupery rabbit-eared fox."
Plus, the first explicit nod to Bianca enjoying drag, which we'll see later in the chapter.
In a deep-cut callback, I used some actual Little Prince "stars and planets" art (plus a texture scanned from the paper) for this wallpaper, but didn't try to emulate the style on the characters. Instead, they get "1960s sci-fi rubber-suits-and-pointy-collars" aesthetic.
Bianca: I’m a t-terrible king! Sparrow: Are not. Bianca: I don’t mean drag, I mean like in The Little Prince. Sparrow: Ohhh. (skritch skritch) (scratch scratch) Did something happen with Patrick? Bianca: Mm-hmm. Sparrow: Wait, was the King the one who tried to own the stars? Bianca: No, that was the Businessman. The King ordered the sun to go down at sunset. Sparrow: How come you’re not just the Prince? Patrick’s gotta be the fox. He’s all guarded and wary, and you have to tame him. I mean, just because you made that contract doesn’t mean he’ll like you overnight, right? It sure hasn’t stopped him from being all . . . uh, how do I say this nicely . . . Bianca: Twitchy? Sparrow: Yeah, that works.

… I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what the contract means.

Yeah, but *they* don’t know that yet…
