"Choco's hungry!" Choco complained, holding her stomach.

"We just got here!" Volk growled. "How could she be hungry?!"

"That's how she is. What do Deimos children even like?" Darc asked.

"I'm not a kid!" Choco said.

"I dunno. Kids are nothing more than annoying little brats!" Delma said.

"Ho ho! You say that now Delma, but you're the perfect example of that! I've met children more calmer than you!" Camellia replied.

As Delma began to threaten the Pianta Sage as usual, Darc and Volk looked at Bebedora.

"I don't eat," was all she said.

"Well, you raised a kid. What did he like?" The hybrid asked the Lupine.

"Well… Nazaal liked raw red meat the most… but she's not a Lupine! Besides, don't humans like that candy stuff?"

"The heck is that?"

"I don't know, I found out about it after hunting some humans near Orcoth. They say it tastes sweet… what even is sweet?"

"Well, I guess we got to find whatever that thing is. If it gets her to calm down, I'm all for it. Choco! Where can I find this… candy?"

"You're gonna give me candy? Oh boy, I haven't had it in so long!"

The girl was now smiling.

"See? She's happy now."

"I think I know where we can find some! C'mon!"

As Choco lead the way, Darc looked at his party.

"We're going to take a small meal break before we return to what we're doing! Come on!"

The hybrid followed after the girl, Volk, Bebedora, Delma, and Camellia following behind.
