The next morning after your night with James Henrietta has a new mission... One where you were to be deployed to a mountainous tropical region plagued by near perpetual rainfall. The mission was to scout out an enemy camp and wait for the signal to attack it. This was a joint operation between various families within the Howlet clan.
You are sitting in your small camouflaged tent about 500 meters away from the enemy camp in question. Babbo, and Kyo-chan resting by your side as James cooks some grubs on a small smokeless grill just outside. His oversized poncho barely protecting him and the larvae from the rainfall.
Travis, and Ria are gone having taken the shift to keep an eye on the enemy up ahead.

"Who are the enemy this time, by the way? ...I wasn't really told the details", Vivi said as she petted the kitsune.

"A group called the Rain Demons in their native tongue." James said wearing a tank top, cargo shorts, and waterproof shoes. "Basically imagine a government sanctioned, and controlled Cartel with access to weaponry that would put your average third world army to shame."

"Appropriate enough name", the bluenette remarked, raising an eyebrow. "Do you know how much time we have before we strike?"

"Depends on when Dad makes the call." He said. "We could be out here for several more days until the conditions are just right." He said.

"Several more days, huh", the bluenette repeated, nodding. "...That's quite some time", she said, thoughtful. "Anything I can do to help until then, or do I essentially have all that time for myself?" she asked, fiddling with one of Babbo's magical stones in her hand.

"Well you should stay near the camp, and low lest you give away our positions." He said returning with a plate of roasted grubs.

"Ah, it's okay... I had not planned to go anywhere, more like... thinking about forms for Babbo", she said, glancing at the grubs. "...Have you eaten that sort of thing often?" she asked.

"Yep, they are a staple food on Zeist*." He said.

"Well, this'll be a new one for me", the former princess-turned mercenary said, more curious than put off.

James used a pair of chopsticks to eat the grubs one by one.

"Mind if I try one?" the bluenette asked out of curiosity.

"Yeah. Go ahead. I made them for both of us." He said.

"Oh, okay. Thanks", she said warmly, as she picked one and proceeded to eat it.

You eat one. Tastes a bit like chicken if a little on the fatty side.
