Well? Are ya gonna fix me up
some mouth-waterin' morsels?

Whoo boy. What is it?
What’s it gonna be?

You'll just have to wait until it's ready.

If it tastes bad enough, I might hafta keep
my mouth shut for the rest of my days.

Here we go.
Give this a taste.

Let me see here...
I dunno... Looks sorta
gross from here...

*Munch, munch, munch*...
*Munch, munch*...
*Munch, munch, munch*...

Phew...

How was it?

Huh? Oh, yeah,
that filled me
up. Nap time.

Hey, wait a sec--

ZZZZ...

That's a pretty neat trick.
Sleepin' standin' up like that...

What is with this guy...?

Waitin' for me ta fall asleep,
huh? Well it won't work!

Now you listen to me...

...Oh well, I guess
you've earned it.

Those're my notes on how
ta refine Everlight.

Whoa, that came
out of nowhere!

Now I'll show ya what happens ta people who
try ta put one over on me in my sleep!

Try me! Age ain't nothin' but a number,
and I'll go toe ta toe with you youngins
any day of the week!

I'm gonna...!

...Sleep just a bit more.

...Wow. That was...special...

I feel like I could use a nap myself...

But... These notes...
It's all here...

So then, this is the real manual?!
I thought it would be more
impressive than this.

We should be able to find out for
certain once we get it to Nobis.

Let's take it with us then,
and go back to Mantaic.

He's probably beside himself
with waiting, at this point.

All right, finished.
Give that a taste.

Let's see here... *Munch,
munch, munch* ...Bleah!
Vut da heow ith dith?!

Now now, grandpa. It's impolite
to talk with food in your mouth.

*Gurgle, glug, burble*... Pfah!
...Think I'm gonna hurl!

*Munch, munch*...
Come on, this is pretty good.

Yeah... Definitely not as
bad as he's saying.

Fools!

The path ta culinary perfection is narrow and
fraught with danger on all sides! This slop
lacks heart! Back ta the kitchen with ya!

You're calling our food slop just because
it doesn't suit your picky palate?
You've got some nerve, gramps...

Let's try again, but make something
else this time around.

We'd better make sure ta find out
just what sorta stuff he likes.

...Um, when did this become
about pursuing culinary
perfection, anyway...?

Don't ask me...

I'll warn ya, I can get downright
mean on an empty stomach...
