[ It doesn't sound better. It sounds like taking advantage of a bunch of dead guys.
But maybe Peter doesn't have room to judge, considering he's still kind of planning on moving aside a few more bones to make room for a campfire and a sleeping area. ]
[ ...Prompto stops to consider this for a moment. He's never really questioned it before! He just sorta...went along with it. ]

[ Wow okay Peter has fifty more questions. HERE WE GO, PROMPTO-BUDDY. STRAP IN. ]
