"You can thank me by enjoying the food!" And with that, Chouji disappears into the kitchen.

He dishes out a couple bowls of beef stew, one of them a very large bowl, then places them on a tray and fills in the space around them with bread, cheese, a couple apples, and some plums. Simple it is; Chouji has never liked anything too complicated, and while his main love is junk food, he's never met a food he doesn't like unless it's been ruined by its cook. From the kitchen, he calls out, "Is there anything you'd like to drink? Milk, juice, water, tea?"

"No tea brewed, but I keep water hot," he answers as he carries their meal back out of the kitchen. He's added a teapot with green tea and a couple small cups to the tray. Just let it steep before you pour. I guess if you'd like cream or sugar I can go get those."

Chouji deposits the tray on an empty neighboring table so it doesn't take over all of theirs. He takes the larger bowl for himself and gives Prim the smaller, sets out two plates, and sits back down. "Normally there are wait staff, and I spend a little more time in the kitchen, but... it's been a strange couple days." He looks mildly worried for a moment before he smiles at Prim again. "I'm grateful for the company."

Chouji has never gone hungry. He is the heir to a fairly well-off clan, always more prone to overindulgence than deprivation. The intensity of his appreciation of food is due entirely to a mix of his clan's philosophy and techniques his own disposition. So while he values food highly, has more use for it than most, he would not understand Prim's view of it. Not through experience, at least.

"I haven't been here long enough to shrug things off yet, but that's what I've heard too. This is only the second time since I arrived." Unless you count the draft, but Chouji doesn't. That wasn't strange or incomprehensible. He was at war, like he was at war at home. The rules had shifted, and he didn't have the luxury of fighting for his own people and homeland, but Chouji still wanted to protect whoever he could here.

"You're newer than I am, then? How are you holding up?"

"I got here in mid-March. The first one... I wasn't really affected, but it was sort of like everyone was suddenly characters in a really badly written movie or book. They were all acting strange, and none of it made any sense."

Chouji is curious too. His teammates have been here so long without him, after all. He knows that even if they did give him a briefing and let him know what to watch out for, they've glossed over the worst of whatever they've gone through here. They don't want him to worry about them, of course, but that's part of being a team: concern for teammates, wanting to help them, care for them. That feeling is even stronger than usual right now.

"I'm not sure. I don't remember whether the guide went into more specifics, but we could check. A lot of them probably do, but I bet there's some that do other things." What other things, Chouji doesn't actually know. "There could be physical changes instead of behavior sometimes."

He isn't that fond of this aspect himself, but at least... "I don't think this one has changed the way I act too much. What about you?"

He takes a few bites of his lunch while he waits for Prim to answer. Food, as always, is a pleasant distraction from worrying. When Prim eats, Chouji is careful to watch for her reaction, hoping that she likes the meal.
