Sure enough, the day had eventually turned into night. Both Shrek and Braedey were both preparing dinner in the ogre's home. Shrek was having some grubs, worms and a slug, while Braedey was outside cooking part of a buffalo leg that must have passed on three hours ago, along with some pork that he caught in a nearby field not far away from the swamp. Shrek soon caught a whiff of the buffalo and the pork while Braedey was roasting them with his own flame and some spices that he somehow managed to smuggle from the knights' black market when he was captured. A pot was also boiling thanks to a cooking fire below the pot.
The ogre made his way over to where the draconic brunette is, while Braedey was busy preparing the freshly cooked pork and buffalo. "Hey Braedey, what are you cooking over there? That smells great." Shrek asked in curiosity.
"Oh, just some buffalo and pork that I've seasoned with some light pepper sprinkling and a hint of some kind of spice." Braedey replied back to the ogre. "Just a little something I've come up with in my spare time while on my own. I admit, I got the cooking aspect from my mother, so she knows the cooking part of everything." He goes to cut off some buffalo and pork out onto a plate.
Shrek decided to try out one of the pieces of pork and buffalo, and his eyes widened at once at the taste.. "Wow. This is amazing. Maybe you should teach me how to cook some of this." He complimented with a wide smile.
Braedey laughed in response. "You know, I'd be glad to share the recipe. I love sharing my mother's cooking tips and tricks with others. And if you thought that was good, wait until you try some of my mother's handiwork." He said.
Shrek continued smiling in response to Braedey's offer. "Hey, that sounds great. I've heard of venison, and yet I never got a chance to try it. So, I think I'm gonna love it." The ogre replied.
Shrek now goes and checks over all the food, seeing everything was in order. He sat himself down, then lights a candle made out of earwax. Braedey nodded to him, who has a large buffalo leg in front of him, which has been cooked. The two of them nodded their heads as they both began to enjoy their meals. But, as they do so, they could hear something, making them get up from their seats.
"What the heck is that noise?" Braedey muttered in frustration.
"I thought I got rid of all bugs." Shrek sighed.
The two of them began to walk about. They could hear the sound more and more, as well as seeing shadows across the walls. Eventually, they spotted 3 blind mice walking around on the table.
"How did they-" Braedey grunted out in confusion.
"Well, gents, it's a far cry from the farm, but what choice do we have?" One of the mice said.
"It's not home, but it'll do just fine." A 2nd nice added in.
A 3rd of the blind mice was now bouncing on a slug. "What a lovely bed."
