You, Clem, and AJ sat at a table with Ruby, Marlon, and Louis. Soon, Louis passes the bowls around.

Louis: Ladies and gentleman, dinner is served!

Clementine: Thanks.

You ate some of the stew.

Y/N: Holy fu-frick. I haven't ate a hot meal like this in a long, long time.

Clementine: Yeah. This is really good.

You look to your left and you see AJ downing his stew.

Ruby: Ugh, come on!

His looks at everyone and burps before he goes back to downing it.

Clementine burps, and so does AJ again. They both then look at you.

Y/N: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

You give them a loud burp. You three then started laughing.

Ruby: Oh, good lord!

Marlon: Enough!

Ruby: Thank you!

Marlon slowly turns to her and burps. She gets up and leaves as you all started laughing.

Louis: Goodnight, Rubyyyy!

AJ: Guys?

You and Clem look at him. His bowl was now empty.

Clementine: I'm sorry, kiddo. I'm sure they shared all they could.

Louis whistles at AJ and sides his bowl over to him.

Y/N: You sure?

Louis: You bet! I'm sure it's his first hot meal, so I want him to enjoy as much as he can.

You and Clem both give him a grateful smile.

AJ: Ah, I'm all done.

You looked at AJ, who now had two empty bowls in front of him.

Y/N: Already? Wow! I'm done, too.

Clementine: Same here.

AJ: So... what now?

Louis: I'll tell you what.

He turns his chair around and pulls out a deck of cards.

Louis: It's time for something important.

Brody: Oh, lord. Goodnight!

Louis: Vi! It's time.

Marlon stacks all of the bowls and moves them.

Marlon: What's the game tonight, Lou?

Louis: War! A game played by man and beast alike. The only game there is.

Y/N: I don't know how to play, but I'm still gonna win.

Louis: Cocky, I see.

Violet sits down next to Marlon.

Violet: It's easy. Everyone gets a stack of cards, everyone flips one over. Highest card wins.

Louis: And the winner gets to ask Clem and Y/N a question.

You and Clem look at him skeptical.

Louis: What? I wanna get to know you, we all do.

Clementine: And what if we win?

Louis: You can ask us one. It's only fair.

Clementine: Wait. What about AJ?

You both look around and you see him talking to Tenn.
