Still in the sandwich cell, Picknar said to Rodrigo, “Instead of harassing Thoos, why don’t you help us come up with a way to literally save our skins?” Rodrigo shrugged and disinterestedly said, “mm,” and then asked, “Is there at least some crackers and cheese to go with the jam?” Picknar asked, “Do you mean the churned milk forcibly taken from possibly sentient creatures before they’re slaughtered?” Rodrigo said, “Yes. That.” Then Thoos began yelling, “No! And finding cheese wouldn’t be helpful! How can you talk about cheese at a time like this?” Rodrigo said, “Is it ever not a good time to talk about cheese?” Fuming, Thoos said, “Now. Now is not a good time to talk about cheese.” Annoyed, Rodrigo started rummaging through his bag for a book and said, “Fine! I can take a hint! I’ll just read and keep out of the way. I wouldn’t want to prevent you from ‘figuring out an escape plan.'” Picknar said, “You know, Knox, your boyfriend is utterly unhelpful in matters of life or death.” Knox said, “You think this is bad? You should see him when it’s his turn to take out the trash.”
