[If this had been a few months ago Kyle would have launched into a rant. Now? He just frowns thoughtfully.]

Brave new world, right?

[bowarmed]

[A small laugh] I suppose, yeah.

He probably thinks we're weirdos.

[imaginate]

Connor, half our world thinks we're weirdos. Including our Roy. He probably has like, a photo album of us being weird.

1/2

[bowarmed]

[stare]

2/2

[bowarmed]

You got a point

And actually, I have photo albums him being weird. Not here, back home.

[imaginate]

[Laughs.]

Remember that time we tried the experimental vegetarian chilli recipe?

[bowarmed]

I think Jade hated us for a while after that.

[imaginate]

[Fondly:] I slept on the couch for a month.

[bowarmed]

[Laughing lightly] I promised her, never again. And I haven't tried to make vegetarian chili ever since.

Not that I had a chance in the Queen household. Chili has meat, or it's not chili.

[imaginate]

Shame. It's actually really good, you know, when it's not making you gag.

[bowarmed]

If you think it was that good, we can make it here. I promise I'll lay off the cayenne peppers this time.

[imaginate]

Sure, I'll help you find the rest of the ingredients. What I'd give for a little taste of home.

[Beat, and he looks slightly embarrassed.]

I won't throw up on your carpet this time, promise.

[bowarmed]

You threw up on my carpet?

[imaginate]

[Long pause.]

Crap.

[bowarmed]

Well













The good news is I don't live there anymore.

[imaginate]

Hey, [waves the ring] I sterilised it.

[bowarmed]

... My house, your throw-up or the chili?

[imaginate]

Yes to the first and second. I don't think anybody can sterilise chilli. Can they?

[bowarmed]

With the amount of hot peppers I put in that, I think I sterilized it as much as it can be.

[imaginate]

Let's give it a go anyway. Who knows, you might be able to come up with a better recipe.

[bowarmed]

Hey, if you're in I'm in. We just need this rationing to go away and then maybe we can some decent ingredients.

[imaginate]

Or we could find a way to grow some.

[bowarmed]

I'm trying my best to. All I got so far was some skinny looking carrots. Wally could pulverize that in second. Or less.

If he ate his vegetables.

[imaginate]

You've heard about people setting up the gardens, right? Chip in with them.

[bowarmed]

I have where I can, and I'm willing to do more. But it's not good to put all your eggs in one basket.
