Hey, Eren?

Since I'm, like, into training. A Lot. I am kind of planning on stacking food and all, especially dry stuff that can be carried around and such. And you are the food guy so, uhm...

Would you be interested into chatting about that? Me and Basil and others are planning build solar dehydrator and other stuff, very Scout like and all, but I kind of want to expand the whole thing. I guess I really like food, huh?

[He is bad at not being honest if he doesn't really try but that's Aubrey's boyfriend and by the gods he doesn't want her to know.]

Well, promise me not to laugh? There are no malls around here and I don't like relying on everyone for what I need, nor I trust this shard stuff, so I'd like to have my own things?


I want to learn how to preserve food, especially stuff that is high in calories and nutrients. As for the training: I'm often out there in the field on my own and while I can just summon myself a glass of fresh water I can't exactly pop into existence an energy bar.

Me and Basil are building some stuff where to dry veggies, maybe meat too, so... I'm reaching for people who know more? And I guess I want to have stuff to keep myself busy? It's been a while since I've been stuck in the training-cooking-gardening only routine.

What? I don't think making few jams, drying stuff to eat and all counts as hoarding.

[Not for himself, at least. With Sunny wanting to stay behind, with his trust in this place degrading, with no trust on the host of this place he just- he doesn't even know what he's preparing for, but he's doing it. Training, making sure his silly treehouse has access to stuff even in case things are taken from them...

That Basil and his other friends can still get food if anything wrong happens, in case he's pulled away as well, who even knows?

There is a long pause as he weights in Eren's words. Lying to his face would be disrespectful if he's going through that but he also doesn't need anyone to know how he actually feels. And... oh, fuck it.

Maybe? Listen, I will be honest- [No, not completely, he won't go over how he actually feels, but he'll get at least close to the truth.] I know you're oh so close with Aubrey and I don't want her to eventually find out and think I'm doomprepping when I'm just- I don't even know f people will need it, you know? I just- I talked with some people, this place is unpredictable, we don't know when and how it will pull the rug from under our feet, so... yeah? I just don't want to be seen as paranoid when it's just me remembering way too many comics I read and going 'well, shit, we gotta have a plan if things go south.'.

Was talking about someone else about trial mix and drying stuff but I don't come with this kind of knowledge and I don't really know a lot of people who do.

I feel kind of stupid just for asking, now.

[Welcome to 'Nervous Kel 101'. He talks a lot indeed.]

I just... people who do this kind of things back home are seen as silly.

And it's not like I'm panicking or anything, it was just something I thought about and it felt like something I could work on if I knew how to?

You're already helping so many people right now, buddy. It's not like you don't have a lot on your plate, I have nothing really keeping my brain busy so I guess I had that to my advantage? But- I'm glad we're on the same page?

[He sounds relieved, at least.]

That's great. I can put my 'fictional worlds' knowledge to use too. I will be honest with you, though, I don't even know where to start. I have the basics down, like that multiple stashes are a good thing to have in case one location is inaccessible and that it's better to have multiple people in charge of their locations but--

Seriously, I started cooking only when I arrived here, the actual preparation is a big question mark for me.
