James hadn't forgotten Raju was there, but he had let the thought go to the back of his mind for the moment, and he realizes the whole ruse about cooking had ended up a little bit pointless since Raju had ended up handling most of it anyway. But then again, the real point had been to get Francis to cheer up a little, so perhaps mission accomplished after all.
He shakes his head at Raju's question; after what little food they did have remaining for the walkout being not only poisonous but also unpleasantly... mushy... he's not about to complain about crisp anything, let alone vegetables. He's not sure he'll complain food of any sort ever again, actually.
This whole situation truly is a little strange when he stops to really think about it, so he decides not to, and instead tries to just focus on what's nice about it. And there's a lot of that, from the company to the meal itself to just being here at all, and finding those moments of light in the midst of even the worst days had been so incredibly important on the expedition. They're no less important here and now.
