He let Keona go and watched her as she lay down, followed immediately by the tiger moving next to her.
"We'll work at it. I need to figure out a good solid way to kill snakes without 'em growing new bits to attack with. Before that, though, I'm gonna get some fruit."
So saying, he headed off to go do that. Travis still wasn't wearing his coat right now, so if Keona needed it for warmth, it was still there.

Back at the mess, most of the crew had cleared out, save for those working KP. Travis came to the door of the mess and-
"Yah!"
THUD!!
"Mrow!"
Well, at least they had something to break up the monotony, for the moment. The quartermaster certainly had a laugh.
"Agh, sonnuva... Why does he DO that?!"
"Because he's a cat, sir. Believe me, I don't like it either, and I've gotten twelve moments like thatm myself. Now, assuming you came in for something, what can I do for you?"
Travis got up off of the floor and right up to the quartermaster now, not exactly as amused as him.
"I'll be honest, man. Keona can't handle your food. I need some fruit for her, or else she'll be having it really rough later."
"How much? The supply is limited, considering what we use to fend off scurvy."
"If you can spare a couple day's worth, I'd appreciate it."
