Correction: I was trying to consume cooked insects.

(in what way is this better.

jonas, wanting to improve the dismal atmosphere, decides to joke around until someone either cracks a smile or tells him to shut up. while it may likely be the latter, making a good impression is important to him. so, naturally, he tunes into the sociable part of him brought out by stiles and chats.)

I'm good, though. Dodged some worms, accidentally stole the last boat from some guy checking out the shoreline, tried to save an old lady from getting eaten by algae, then came here. To eat bugs. And get my buzz harshed by your brother—only kidding. But we're even now, since I've been rambling at him ever since. (whoever gave him a scrap of confidence made a mistake.)

Check it out, I even got a better disguise than you two. You guys look like really old rugs.

(laughs to himself, ha ha ha.)
