The plate is accepted with a grateful smile. He knows what it is to have limited resources, and the willingness regardless to share them with other people.

Mostly, though, he's just glad it's jerky.

But he sets on the rest of it first, starting with the crackers just to see if he can stomach anything at all. It means he doesn't choke, either, when his mouth goes unexpectedly dry at the answer he gets.

"Jesus." A part of his mind can't help but think of the kingdom in the Dreamlands, decorated with pieces of the victims, and swallowing the mouthful is unexpectedly difficult for a moment. "Do we-" wait no he has to clear his throat before something goes the wrong way. "D-does anyone know what got them?"

Congratulations, Doctor, you have one (1) private investigator on the task.
