In case it wasn't obvious, the King of Rampage didn't feed the merchant to a crocodile, he fed the merchant's dick to the crocodile. Most likely the merchant was restrained and held down while the croc took the bite.
@throwaway4ccount I agree with that, which is all the more why I am rooting for Ullmander. Given the tone set by the author so far, I think there won't be too many complications in the romance end of the story.
