[Something so that he's not limited to how many rats are on board, or at least as something more robust to supplement it.]
I thought I'd try my hand at making something that would fit the bill. Efforts have been largely successful, though I haven't been able to test it extensively just yet, given that I don't... well. I have my own specific dietary needs.
[Boots, etc. He can have a sense of humor about that now.]
I... [ again, his voice almost falters with the weight of it. the genuine feeling of being touched by this. ] look forward to seeing what it is. And I appreciate it.
[Gale smiles, and it's almost as though the distress from before had never taken place.]
It's my pleasure. I'll be sure to have it ready before we set sail. Until then, I suppose we ought to enjoy what time we have left here, hm? After last night's victory, I feel some relaxation is well-earned.
[He bows his head slightly; a bit formal considering all they've been through with one another, but it's important to him that they part well, given the difficulty of the conversation beforehand.]
I'll see you then, and make any final adjustments in the meantime.

That's...exceedingly kind of you. I'll find a way to repay you.

[That's not why he did it, but he won't say the F word again. There's been enough of that this evening.]
You know me, I do love a challenge. My hope is that it will make your time at sea more bearable.

[He'd killed a lot of skeletons, personally.]

But I'll be sure to stop by before we set sail.
