Ruby says if they want some different food then they’ll need to get the ingredients for it. She ain’t made of bits after all.
 
“Yeah, well you ain’t no chef either, twerp.” Rat says.
 
Ruby comments that he should say Scarlet, but that he knows he won’t because he’s jealous of how cool it is.
 
They then both stick their tongues out at each other.
 
“Maybe some sort of other jam? Or maybe some other sort of preserved food? I bet we could find old vegetables to do it with.” Sleepy says, observing the jam on his bread thoughtfully.
 
“Yeah, but we’d need the pickling solution too. Not that it’s expensive, but it ain’t free.” Barber says, leaning on a hoof.
 
Ruby asks if maybe they can get a cut in at the alchemy market.
 
“Not without a good product or ingredient, and even then we might be so lucky. Some of those alchemy giants can be ruthless.” Sleepy says with a sigh.
 
“What about those charity events and parties though snobs up in the castle district have? Maybe we can sneak in and pilfer some stuff.” Rat says.
 
“It’s an idea, but I’m not sure we’d be able to do it for a little bit. Do you remember that idiot Shock Top? Him and his family tried to sneak into a party and kidnap some kids. He got arrested pretty soon after that.” Barber comments.
 
“That won’t be the end of him, you’ll see. That guy has lady luck on his side.” Rat says, shaking his head.
 
Soon after this it’s decided to go to bed for the night. Rat wants to get up first thing and get that box. Barber agrees, and the mare shoos her into her corner, where Ruby lies on her potato sack and pulls up a blanket around her. Well, it’s not so much a blanket as a rug she managed to find, but it does the job.
 

 
Ruby wakes up the next day, and looks out the window with a sigh. It isn’t light yet, but it will be soon. She lays back down and tries to get more rest, but for whatever reason she finds herself awake.
