That's a tasty-looking roast you've got there, Claude.
Where'd you get it?
Oh, hey Raphael. I nabbed it from the base we took
[cdb]over the other day, no big deal.
Plus it's about to go bad, so there's no point in trying
[cdb]to ration it out to the troops. Meaning—
You're giving it to me! Aw, yes!
Hold on there, big guy. Nobody can eat all of this
[cdb]alone, not even you.
I was actually thinking we could all feast on it
[cdb]together. Want to help me cook it?
You bet I do! Might mean my stomach goes a little
[cdb]emptier, but feasting with the whole team adds a spice
[cdb]like no other!
Just leave the rest to me! I'll kick this meat party off
[cdb]in style!
Hey, make sure you take it to the mess hall!
Is he even listening to me?
Wow, this looks incredible. Color me impressed,
Raphael.
Well you said it was about to go bad, right?
I had to grill it up as quick as I could!
I mean, it wasn't going bad in a matter of minutes,
[cdb]but...this is a huge help. Thanks.
Weird, it felt like that was more than we could ever
[cdb]finish, but just mention food to the crew and it's
[cdb]gone in an instant.
Too bad, too. I was thinking I could split any
[cdb]leftovers we had with Maya and my grandpa.
Uh, doesn't it take days to get here from where they
[cdb]are? It would definitely have started rotting by then.
Besides, this isn't really the chapter in history you
[cdb]want an old man and a child going out for a stroll.
Yeah...I guess you're right.
Still, I hope that day comes soon.
Huh?
A time when we can invite your grandfather and
[cdb]sister over for banquets whenever we want. A time
[cdb]when it's not so dangerous for them to travel.
Not that any of that'll be possible so long as this
[cdb]war keeps dragging on.
That's it! Claude, that's it!
Whoa, what's all the yelling for?
This meal was amazing, yeah, but a little voice in the
[cdb]back of my mind kept saying something was missing!
And now I know what it is!
Once the land's at peace again, we're gonna have to
[cdb]have a huge party, with Maya, and my grandpa,
[cdb]and everyone!
After all, you can't savor a meal if you've got thoughts
[cdb]of war rolling around in your head.
Yeah, I think you're right.
A banquet we can throw in peacetime is far better
[cdb]than one we have to put on hold due to the conflict.
But in order to make that dream a reality, we'll need
[cdb]to create a future where the wild animals share their
[cdb]game instead of fighting over it.
Game? As in, game meat?! You have more?
Sorry, just a metaphor for the eagles and lions,
[cdb]always at each other's throats.
As for us deer, we're content with leaves. But where
[cdb]should we forage next?
