"I think it's a sign of a good cook if you can do basic well." Or maybe Phil's a simple man and he likes simple things because he agrees with Scott. There's a lot to be said for fresh ingredients and a simple meal made with them.

Instead of answering Scott's question he pays for a bottle of plain olive oil which he expects will be answer enough. If he wanted infused oil he would get it but he wants very simple.

"I have seen some very beautiful places and tried a lot of different foods." Phil carefully tucks the bottle into the tote bag they brought for carrying things. "But there's always the other side of the coin. Some trips are rough."

He will never forget the three days spent in a literal hole in the ground with a metal sheet over his head in the middle of a wasteland. There have been a lot of bad missions over the years. "I still can't really imagine what else I would have done if Nicky hadn't recruited me."
