Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Rafael estimated that the supply delivery should arrive within the next two days. Though there were only two of them, it was easier to slip out unnoticed at night. Having too many people would complicate things. Once they found an exit, they could capture one or two people for questioning. If they were tight-lipped, a bit of force might persuade them to talk.

"I could really go for some bread," Dylan grumbled, letting out a loud belch. "I swear, without any bread or pasta, a person might just die. Roasting meat endlessly to eat is so greasy..."

"Just grab some grass and chew on it to get rid of the greasy taste," Rafael suggested, reaching down to pull up a handful of wild grass. It was edible, and this time of year, it was tender. "Eat it. Quickly."

"It's bitter. I'm not eating it," Dylan refused, declining Rafael's offer.

Rafael didn't mind and ate it himself. Even the roots were edible, and the tender leaves, though slightly bitter, were just what he needed to cut the grease. It was surprisingly tasty.
