[Mikumo tilts her head back, expression difficult to read for a moment before it shifts into a small, but distant smile.]
On an enemy planet after our craft got shot down. I had to eat canned sea spiders and we didn't even get to start a fire before the local military came for us.
[The whole thing and what had come after should've been a whole lot more traumatic than her tone would imply, but since she was crafted for this kind of work, it's settled such that she can compartmentalise it. She's never cared much for the past, but some things don't get forgotten so easily.]
Though I suppose it was more of a very dangerous picnic than a camp, in that case, so yours is a better comparison.
[They probably wouldn't have even started setting up for a fire if Makina hadn't wanted to "celebrate" Mikumo's first experience of eating in front of other people. Not that not doing it would have helped in the end anyway.]
