Life is more fun that way, is it not?

[axilium]

Can't deny that.

[fishingforcompliments]

At any rate...

[With a sigh, she heads back into the pantry, and emerges with two apples. She keeps one for herself and holds out the other to him.]

This is not a prepared meal, but I suppose it is better than nothing.

[axilium]

[he takes it.]

... Well, food's food. It's more than what some people get.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, that is true. I suppose we are lucky that they are providing food for us this time...

[axilium]

You guys just had to starve? Unlucky.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well, there were fruits we could pick and fish that we could catch... but it was nothing like here, where ingredients have already been set aside for our use.

[axilium]

Sounds rough. But I guess it helps with building independence?

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps! Many of us seemed to be utilizing such skills for the first time, there.

[axilium]

Yeah, foraging is probably a bit of a niche skill, depending on your previous lifestyle.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes. I am glad that there were enough of us there who could do it; it could have ended very poorly had there not been.

[starvation! at the island]

[axilium]

On the bright side, you can survive for about a month with no food? Though it's a different story if you have no drinking water.

[fishingforcompliments]

Luckily, we had a river.

[axilium]

Well, that's good. Imagine if it was contaminated.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[haha. yeah. imagine that.]

[axilium]

... Ah. Bad luck for you guys all around, then.

[fishingforcompliments]

We found ways around it, but it was rather unfortunate.
