[The sound makes Kashuu's hair stand on end, because it's so... unnatural, honestly. So far from the way a healthy person should sound, and pretty distant from how Souji had sounded just days earlier when the fire god's blessing was still helping him out. He dutifully ignores it, as always.]

Trust me! They taste so bad that not even a wolf'd wanna eat it.

[He knows... He's seen first-hand. Poor, poor Guillan.]

Plus they might be poisonous or something. At least you know bugs like that are safe to eat, yeah? [He's not grossed out by the notion, anyway. People eat anything they can get their hands on when they're really, really hungry, even if it's worms dug up from the drying riverbed.

But he sees Souji sway and he's quick to step in and help in his own way, even if that means grabbing Souji's free arm and starting to tug him forward.]

Hey, hey, are you camping out near here?
