Room for Improvement

Room for Improvement is the nineteenth chapter of Blazin' Trails.

Plot
Ricochet puts effort into making a delicious chili for Droop-a-Long, but things don't go well when Droop-a-Long almost chokes on his (admittedly extreme) spicy Southwestern vegetarian chili.

Trivia

 * This is one of many "relief chapters" after the conclusion of the Protector arc.
 * This chapter was inspired by the short story Firsts, which follows Ricochet and Droop-a-Long learning of their differences during their first year of working together. That story would be published a month or so after this chapter's posting.
 * This chapter establishes both Ricochet's cooking style and his preference for very spicy food. It also establishes that between the two of them, Droop-a-Long is the superior cook.
 * This chapter has a few mentions of Ricochet's father.
