[pruning]

[hand... ok why not, following]

I should point out, I am a vegetarian.

[pencilpremonition]

[stops cold]

You're going to die.

[pruning]

You can't tell me there isn't a single edible plant in this place.

[pencilpremonition]

Actually, everything is poisonous.

[pruning]

Surely there must be a god of vegetation...

[pencilpremonition]

Dellen can purify things so they're safe to eat, but there's not enough stuff here to make nourishing vegetarian meals. You'd get hardly any protein and you'd waste away to nothing.

[pruning]

I can't imagine an entire ecosystem without fruits or nuts...

[what kind of jungle is this!!]

[pencilpremonition]

Fruits aren't protein, and nuts are difficult as hell to get a hold of.

[pruning]

Some fruits have a small amount of protein. I don't intend to change my lifestyle because something might be difficult.

[pencilpremonition]

You're going to have to work twice as hard, and I can't disrupt the regular meal schedule to accommodate you. Some of the gods offer food, but the best I can do for you is to give you the side dishes I make and make you fend for yourself the rest of the way.

[pruning]

I'm not asking you to change anything.

[pencilpremonition]

[It's more that it's upsetting her that she can't feed you.]

It's just...

[HUFF]

[pruning]

... I can look after myself...

[pencilpremonition]

I try to be useful....

[pruning]

Well, I'm terribly sorry my diet inconveniences you. I haven't made any complaints, you know.

[pencilpremonition]

[That cheerful, optimistic persona? Is a mask. And it's cracking. Hard.]

It's not about inconvenience!

[pruning]

Then I've no idea what's so upsetting.

[pencilpremonition]

Do I look like I can survive here?! Everything is always trying to kill us! Not even Dante's enough to take care of me! It takes everyone, working together, just to keep me alive!

All I can do...

[breaking down]

All I can do is cook for people...

And now I can't even do that....

[pruning]

If one vegetarian is enough to shatter your confidence, I daresay you could benefit from a reevaluation of your priorities.

[pencilpremonition]

It's kind of hard to have priorities around here when you're trapped inside and incapable of doing anything USEFUL!

[pruning]

Then learn, if what you do is not enough.

[pencilpremonition]

I can't. I'm...flawed.

[pruning]

[oh for god's sake young people]

Everyone is flawed.

[pencilpremonition]

My heart stops.

[pruning]

And so you've given up. What a stunning display of youthful selfishness.
