I believe it's just Spo saying that he thinks Squeak is pretty.Render wrote:Can someone please tell me the reference for "tall thimble of water"?
The saying itself comes from " A tall drink of water" which is kind of an old euphemism for saying someone's hot.
Spo saying "thimble of water" is more or less of a parody of the aforementioned phrase, because mice are tiny.

Which is why I had to switch to 'Pollicina', a reference to Thumbelina, since 'tall drink of water' has no equivalent in my language.

Uh-oh. I don't see this ending well for Joey.
Also, Squeak looks cuter than I expected.

They're linked by friendship with dogs

or there could be fun, so to speak,
as Spo is teased by a 'giant' Squeak.
Good luck to them.
