[ Shinpachi, caring that someone sounds too excited? Hell, if anything, he's usually the only one getting excited, so he grins a little when the other goes along with it so easily. See, these are the rays of light in the middle of situations that seem shitty.. From what he remembers, this place has always been kind of terrible at times, but the people there are good enough.

Good to see that at least that much has held up just fine. ]

You any good with cooking?

[ Not that Shinpachi is terrible, but he's sure not.. good either.. And he'd rather not risk getting food poisoning after all out here. Besides-- ]

I figure the scent of cooked meat might draw out some of the weird creatures 'round here, so one of us oughta keep guard. [ And since he's so used to it, he's implying that he'll do it, yes. Fighting is pretty much his job, and he loves food, so protecting his next meal? That sounds like a pretty ideal combination of interests. ]
