Part 222: Robin A

Do you cook, Donny?

Sure-if I ain't got a choice. You?

I've only poisoned myself twice!

You say that like yer proud! But ain't much use to all this meat if we can't do nothin' with it.

Do you want to have a go? At cooking it, I mean? I'll bet if the two of us put our heads together we could come up with something.

No harm in tryin'.

(Time passes)

Gah! The fish! You're burning it!

And yer stew is boilin' over!

HOOOOOOT! Hot! Hot! Hot!

You all right?!

Ow... Y-yes, I think so. It's just a little burn.

You gotta cool that, quick! Take this... Aw, horse apples! We're outta water!

I'll go draw some. Don't move!

I got the water! Stick yer hand in there!

Ahhhhhhhhh...

I reckon there WAS harm in us tryin' to cook.

Still, I'd say it was worth it. At least I got to learn something about you.

And what's that?

You've got a cool head in a crisis. You were quick on your feet and kept it together. Thanks again for the water.

Shucks. Ain't nothin' nobody else wouldn'ta done...

Don't be so modest. You certainly...

*sniff* *sniiiiiiff* Er, Donny? Is something burning?

The fish! The fish is still on the goldurn fire!

I think the harm is starting to outweigh the benefit now. Let's just throw some dirt over these cookfires and slink away. Er, and perhaps we'll not mention this to anyone else, eh?
