As if to illustrate his thoughts, Bug, from his spot on the floor nearby, holds up a handful of beetle elytra so they gleam in the light. They're iridescent, green and black, but it's a safe bet the animals they were attached to have been eaten. "Good to use everything you can get," he adds softly to Furiosa's explanation, and nods at Zack. "If you can't eat it or build with it, it can still be pretty."

"Bug's an artist, and our best forager," Furiosa tells their guest. And then she nods her agreement with his conclusion. "That's it, more or less. We still have coins around the old Citadel, but the world fell down so we don't use most of 'em."

They melt down gold and silver and copper, but Furiosa is all too happy to bring the rest here to trade away.

He speaks offhandedly of his world, and she gets it, but he's dropped some surprising information in just those few words. "Don't know who Abe is, but watch out for people like that. Joe used to tell us not to get addicted to water."

Twisty makes a spitting sound of disapproval at the mention of 'Joe', whoever he might be. Food is a nicer topic, anyway, and Furiosa smiles at the suggestion. "Sounds good to me. Maybe you want to come forage with us sometime, in the Wilds? Sounds like you might recognize as many of the bugs as we do, if not more."
