Malkai looked towards Jarvis when he questioned if they ever been to a dwarven settlement. He would have made a quip, but thought against it. Just because the dwarf was ignorant doesn't mean Malkai was going to stoop to his level. That, and Malkai was going to be brutally honest when, if asked if he's ever been to a dwarven settlement, that the only time he's went was when he plundered their towns and raided their homes alongside orcish tribes. He even had some Dwarven slaves, but disliked their overall weakness and quickly sold them off to the highest bidder. 

As for their cuisine, it was thick and hearty at the best of times. But otherwise most of the food made by dwarves seems to take into account simplicity and shelf-life over taste and flavor. It could look like a well-crafted steak or a pile of grey goo, and it'd taste all the same if it was made by a dwarf. That being said, he finds that dwarves make the best fruit preserves, besting even the elfs when it comes to natural ingredients. Though Malkai also finds their ales and lagers to be overly hyped. But then again Malkai also doesn't like alcohol, so he couldn't really judge that accurately.

As for Malkai's camping gear, while he'd appreciate the coverings of a tent, when it was time to sleep he intended to go somewhere where none of the others can see him, turn into a desert fox, and burrow underneath the sands. He could maintain that form long enough for him to get at least an 8 hour sleep, assuming he doesn't take a watch. Which he won't. As for dinner preparations Malkai at least had his own utensil: A mug, a pair of sticks, a spoon, and a bowl. The mug looked to be made of some sort of black metal, the sticks carved from wood, a spoon of dwarven design, and the bowl appears to be the scalp of some sort of large skull (It was a giant's). He waited quietly for Jarvis to finish cooking before he'd help himself.

As he waited, Malkai was mostly listening to Alyssa. Mostly cause she talked a lot. He found it rather annoying, but didn't mention anything about it. She wasn't the first person to blabber on and on about what he felt was meaningless words, but nature adapts. At the very least she gave fodder for conversation, which wasn't something that Malkai shied away from. [color=00a651]"What enchantments does your bedroll have?
