Hey, Cookie, what exactly are you cooking? I mean, if you don’t know, we aren’t gonna help you out. You still need to know what you want to do before you can just ‘magic’ it into working.

The cook sighed and searched for a relevant cookbook and information pack, shaking his head at the outrageous price of six hundred credits. Things weren’t going to get any cheaper, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to start cooking crustaceans or insects. “Why are there so many bug cookbooks? Why such a push for that?”

Scrubz walked over. “We going to have a seafood boil on the beach? I’m starving.”

“Sorry, Scrubz, but I don’t have any kind of recipe for that. No recipe means I can’t cook it. I can’t even process the ingredients, so we’re still on regular rations tonight.”

Scrubz looked disgusted, one hand resting on the short sword sheathed at his side. There was no sign of the spear. He must’ve thrown and lost it, but the short sword also looked used. The man shook his head. “I guess I’ll have a pocket pancake I keep around for emergencies. At least give me some of that goat meat to go with it.

Brie walked up to her husband and laid a hand on his arm with a tight smile. “We need to go before I accidentally kill you.”

“Sweetest way to die, baby.” Reuben winked and tipped his leather Helm of Helming at her. “Going out for a good cause, just because my wife says so.”

“Now I need to find something to kill and grill, so people’s tongues I can thrill.” Nacho sighed as he found himself alone for the first time in a long while—which of course happened to be the exact moment that the plants near him started rustling. Knives twirling, he felt ready to take on whatever decided to show up.

An unexpectedly canine face burst through the underbrush, panting and shivering. The green dog hadn’t grown much larger since the last time Nacho had seen it, but it seemed this creature was not meant to deal with winter on its own. It padded over slowly, then lay down at the human's feet with its paws over its eyes.

“Every time I see you, I need to remind you that I am not going to be the one to put you out of your misery.” Nacho was extremely hesitant to
