Yeah, I'm sure the spread's fine, if it's coming from LILITH and not a bunch of sketchy villagers. [He's eyeing the buffet table over from afar, and also glancing at some other people's plates around him.] ...Seems like a lot of these ingredients are fresh, too, which... Ehh. I mean, you've seen how the food is back in Japan. Might as well enjoy it while it's here.
[Granted, that's ANOTHER unfortunate similarity it shares with the feast they were treated to in Brasov... If he remembers right, he's pretty sure the people there were only able to grow crops so well thanks to the influence of the kaiju they worshiped.
More to the point, he says it's probably fine, and he DOES mean it, and yet... He's still hesitating about getting up to fix himself a plate.]
