The weather is great, the sun is starting to dip toward the horizon, and it's pleasantly mild. Time for an (extremely) old-fashioned low country boil.

We've got two small fire pits built out in front of the inn, each with a massive pot filled with loads of vegetables — corn, carrots, potatoes, onions — and of course the rainbow crabs Finnick and Annie discovered not long after we arrived here. We've even got salt, if you can believe it, although the red salt in this place is pretty spicy and usually makes me sweat, so I've only put it in the one pot, and then set a bowl of it out for garnishing.

Tables and chairs have been brought out from inside, a couple of them set aside specifically for piles of plates, bowls, cups and whatever potluck provisions the rest of the village brings.

"Let's enjoy the festive rainbow crabs for now," Ravi says, making the decision basically as soon as they start talking about parties and enjoying them, seeing as honestly, Ravi is all about ignoring the more dismal parts of their existence here when given food.

"Who knows when we'll get our next chance, right?" Because that, too, has been clear. Feasts are few and far between, so all the best to enjoy them.

"We should carpe diem while we can," Helen agreed. "And I imagine it's rather easier to seize the day when one has pincers, so our crustacean friends might be better off than we are."

Or perhaps not, considering they were the prey and not the predator. Hmm.
