[The notion of Sieglinde working with something that enormous when she's so young (and consequently dainty) is admittedly unexpected, though Haise won't do her the discourtesy of voicing as much. It's more that he can't imagine what would necessitate anything of such volume, above all else.

He pats Isengrim once the familiar has taken the treat from him, pleased that his offering is acceptable. It may not be raw meat, but at least it's not entirely unappealing to the familiar.

Haise considers the nature of resources they're supplied with for a time longer, recalling a past conversation along the same lines]

Maybe we couldn't get something of that volume...but are there resources we could keep an eye out for, while we're in the field? I realize it wouldn't be the same, but there might be some good in it.

[And while they're on such business-like matters, why not cover something like that?]
