Raven was very interested in everything. He was clearly knowledgeable with plants and farming. He asked all the right questions and noticed the little details that made a difference. He didn't seem to loose interest, but it was becoming difficult for him to keep up the energy.

Toby noticed and paused from showing his the life pattern of a crossbreed orchid, "How about some lunch?" he offered with a kind smile.

"... Alright," Raven replied though he was still interested in learning more.

So Toby had Raven pick a variety of different things as he started up a fire. "Wolfe refuses to eat here," he chuckled as he threw some nut-like things into the fire. "Says it's too unsanitary," he explained.

Raven didn't seem too surprised. "... How did you met?" he asked Toby.

Toby stuck some of the fruits in a pan as he replied, "He ran into me on one of his mission thingies. Comes to visit from time to time, his friends like my fruit."

"... Huh..." Raven said as he watched Toby cook the fruit.

Toby watched him for a moment before going into a lecture on all the ways to use the fruit he was cooking.

Raven listened quietly.

Toby grabbed a coconut type fruit and cracked it over, handing one half to Raven. "Drink the juice then fill 'er up!" he explained as he gulped down his own and filled the inside with the stew that was simmering over the fire. Everything was delicious, filling and sweet. It wasn't hard to imagine which friend of Wolfe's in particular liked Toby's fruit.

Raven did as Toby said and started eating his fill. He really seemed to enjoy it, but even after he was done he still seemed a bit weary.

Toby watched him for a moment, "Does Wolfe wear you out?" he suddenly asked between bites, "He seems the high rolling type."

Raven paused for a moment, not looking at Toby. "... It's not like that," he replied quietly.

Toby filled up his fruit bowl again, "Hm?" he asked, glancing at Raven as he ate.

Raven didn't say anything more. He wasn't sure exactly how much Wolfe trusted this man. He didn't want to cause Wolfe any more trouble.

Toby shrugged after a moment and put more food in Raven's bowl, "He needs to appreciate good dirt," he suddenly said, "Try to teach that to him. He's too techie," he said, a little disgusted.
