[Okay, well, to be fair, Grant guesses that cannibalism is bound to come up in discussions of Mystery Meats From Unknown Sources. However: Way to just plop that into the conversation, buddy!!
However, there's no sticking on that point for too long - not when Dimitri immediately follows it with reminding Grant, once again, what kind of person he actually is, however awkward and concerning his behavior may be at times.
Grant nods, his quiet appreciation showing in his face and voice alike.] ...Thank you. I am glad you told me.
...The foods we have brought with us so far have been doing us well, but I am concerned about the lack of animals to hunt out here on the road. If these shells of ours still require the mimicry of sustenance-
[yeah he's still holding onto that afterlife theory]
-then I am worried about our options. I will do my due diligence when we arrive in the next town.
...I am disrupting your sleep. [Right. A thing Grant does. Unlike him.]
Uh... [Okay, he's still not gonna touch the afterlife thing.] I don't think we need to worry about hunting, just... buying stuff whenever we're in a town should do fine, long as we plan ahead.
[He waves a hand vaguely.] Don't worry about it. It'd probably be a while before I was actually asleep, anyway. [Which-- okay, yes, he has basically started over the "going to sleep" process here, but frankly? Having something to focus his thoughts on might speed it up a bit when he lies back down. Better than just letting his mind wander where it will, that's for sure.]
[Grant can say that it is no trouble, but still... Dimitri worries.]
...I will procure chamomile tea when we arrive at the next town. I cannot speak of its taste, but the smell, and its warmth, used to assist in my own attempts to sleep...
[You know, when he made more of an attempt to do it.]
Oh - I appreciate it, but you don't have to do that. Unless it might help you, too, in which case I... absolutely encourage that. [He's fine, really!! Grant is pretty sure that taking a bit to fall asleep doesn't really compare to Dimitri's situation, alright.]
It just takes me a few minutes, is all. Usually no more trouble than that these days.
[He'll make sure no more rat hordes try to jump them. After making sure that Chip is completely asleep and warm - helped by Dimitri draping his own cloak over them - he goes back to his post and adjusts himself for a long night.]

there's no good way to bring it up, grant!
