Po: - CAN WE KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT!? - From his voice, it was evident that the panda was very angry.

Zhen: - It's not that big of a deal. -

Po: - Isn't it!? You got us into an unnecessary fight for no reason. -

Zhen: - Hey... You told me to look for supplies... and that's what I did. -

Po: - Stealing? Scamming? Cajoling? That's what you mean? Is that the only thing you know how to do well? -

As soon as Po blurted out those words, he regretted doing so. While it wasn't without truth, hearing it didn't make it any less painful. Zhen had no strength or will to say anything else. Her eyes, between a mixture of sadness and fury, she did her best not to cry in front of the panda. Still, he preferred to simply turn around, and climb to the crow's nest of the ship, where she could hide from her own problems.

(Crow's nest)

Po could do nothing but rub his eyes and snort at her attitude... He was upset by what had happened, but there was no need to have said such a thing. The panda saw the fox climbing the ropes of the boat out of his sight, and he understood that it would be best to leave her alone for the moment. Anyway, he would have nowhere to escape in the middle of the lake.

Captain: - I think you opened your mouth too wide. -

Po: - You don't have to tell me. How long until we get to the city? -

Captain: - First thing tomorrow morning we will be at the port. -

This was going to be a long and uncomfortable night without a doubt, at least what was left of it. It wasn't long before Po's stomach reminded him that they weren't able to eat anything. So, after waiting a reasonable amount of time, he took some things to eat and with great difficulty climbed the ropes of the boat to where Zhen was.

However, it wasn't very pleasant to see the vixen balled up in the basket, knowing that it was partly his fault, but he assumed that she would be in a similar situation to him.

Po: - I assumed you would be hungry. -

Hearing his voice, Zhen looked up and saw him. She couldn't deny it, she was hungry, although she had already assumed that this would be another of the nights she would go to bed without eating anything. She was already practically falling asleep, but the food was welcome.

She accepted a boll with some things to eat, including some dumplings, vegetables and other things. Things he recognized immediately.

Zhen: - This...? Where did you get it from? -

Po: - From the tavern. -

Zhen: - Did you take it? That's kind of hypocritical coming from you. -

Po: - I left money on the bar... That counts as payment. -
