"My name's Kinner," the cook explains. "Figure if we're going to work together, I ought to share it."

Kinner makes sure the other flares have been taken, keeping three for himself. Visibility is key in conditions like these, but they aren't needed just yet. In the wastes of Antarctica, a light source that could pierce through the snowstorms was a lifesaver. Kinner himself could testify to that.

The portal also isn't so strange. Kinner's used PINpoints, and he's traveled to Furiosa's world, so this is semi-familiar territory for him. Useful, though. He wishes they'd had access to something like this in Big Magnet, that could've saved a lot of lives.

He steps through Horvath's portal, watching Harrow transform. It's an interesting sight, if slightly unsettling, and he remembers what Horvath taught him about how shapehifters could get around energy-matter laws. He takes it better than he would have back home, stepping aside to let Harrow do the tracking work. Dogs are good trackers, he knows that much. It's a good idea to bring somebody who had canine tracking abilities with them.

Kinner's used to dogs, even big dogs, mostly thanks to Clark. However, Clark's huskies and Alaskan malamutes would be dwarved by Harrow's massive wolf form. Kinner isn't sure it's a wolf, his mind goes to werewolves, but Harrow seems to have control over his wolf form that monster movie werewolves lack. The small cook is grateful for that. He's sure even Clark would be spooked.

"It's all right," he tells the refugees. "We're here to help. We're lookin' for a couple people, that's all."
