You walk over to the campfire, which glows in the center of the clearing. The heat radiating from it mixed with the warm summer air makes standing close to it unbearable for long, but a breeze gusts past you, cooling your skin. Jaime sits on a pile of logs stacked high enough that he can see over the flames.

"Hey, Luth. What do you got there?" Jaime asks. You uncover the secret bowl of extra food and show it to Jaime. "I brought this for you."

Jaime stares at the food in your bowl. "You set this aside? I guess not everyone's getting some. Normally, I wouldn't want preferential treatment, but I am so damn hungry."

You shovel food into his bowl, and he eats with the voracity of a zombie on a fresh kill.
