Hm. (Looking to the side. Licking his lip. Reaaaally thinking it. Clenches his fistΛ with glass shards in his hands.)
More iron than pickle! Surely this is but temporary! I can remedy this just fine byβ (reaching over to get a pickle,)

"Bugs. They provide delicious protein for younglings alike. I used to have it growing up! They provided me great power."
There's a tint of longing in his voiceΛ though it's shrugged off quickly. "Thank you for supplying me strength."
