When Ignis catches a cold and can’t cook for the gang. The first option? Cup noodles of course but after a few days? The salt is causing problems for everyone except Gladio because he’s the cup noodle God. Next Option? Bland toast and Noct starts complaining after day two.
Third option? When everyone realizes none of them can cook for sh*t, Hunter just tells them to stay put and in the distance they start killing a Garula and comes back roasting the steak on a spitroast and voila problem solved! But that’s the only thing they can do to lessen the agony of a tasteless meal everytime they camp …
Hunter: Ugh, anymore of those salty cup things and I’m gonna go nuts.
Gladio: HEY! I will have you know this is the BEST food on Eos.
Hunter: ……
Gladio: Ok. Best PORTABLE food.
Hunter: Gimme sec… yeah? *runs off to kill Garula.*
Palico: *purr* MEAT!
Noctis: Say what?
Ignis: *sneezes*
Prompto: Ah, easy there Iggy!
Hunter: *slaps the bbq spit down and starts roasting*
Noctis: *Drools*
Gladio: *blinks once* …well ok you got me there.
Ignis: *sneezes again*
Palico: *soft purr and curls up with Iggy, knowing they’re going to have meat later!*
Prompto: *blinks* Ok, so what smells–whoa.
Hunter: *later, scoots over to the Palico and gives him a treat* Here you go, thanks for taking care of Iggy!
Palico: *many happy purrs as he noms!*
Ignis: What is that smell?
Hunter: Ah sorry. I kinda burned it a little. *sheepish smile, then blinks* Oh! You’re feeling better then, cause you can smell things!
Boys: *omnomnomscarfnomslurp*
Ignis: Tch, as if one could rest with all that noise…
Hunter: *chuckle*
I also HC that Ignis learns QUICKLY just how much the Hunter and Palico can EAT:
