01: sustenance
With refugees in the Vault, the Milk Run as a business is less important than making sure the new ones, the strangers, are properly fed. Senshi and anyone capable who cares to help him have set themselves to this task, making sure there’s enough nice hot soup and bread for any starving miner or factory worker, now cut off from their old life, to at least not have to worry about their next meal.

Whenever possible Senshi takes a moment to make sure the new uns are settled in and have a warm bed, and does his best to make them feel welcome, but he knows with a crowd this size that’s not always possible. So many mouths, so little time. Still, he makes the new arrivals feel human whenever he can.

02: luxury
Senshi is going around with a survey, asking new and old what luxury foods and ingredients they most miss from the Empire and carefully noting down the answers in a notebook.

If asked why, he says, “Simple: next time I’m out shopping with the Milk Run, I’ll try to find some.”

He’s dead serious.

What flavors and treats do you miss most?

When Senshi poses the question, Link blinks slowly.

"From...the Empire?"

Link does not remember ever being given any good food from the Empire. It's not exactly something he's nostalgic for.

“Ah,” Senshi says, the syllable an apology. “More after foods you miss than after anything you might have had in the Empire. The rarer the treat, the better.”

Ah. So things from home would count. That's a bit easier, and Link takes a moment to think.

"...Big hearty radishes," he says. He'd arrived with a lot of ingredients stored in his korok-enchanted pack, but he didn't have any of those. He only had one, solitary normal-sized hearty radish.

“Hearty is easy, but large enough… I think I know where to get suitably large daikon; I’ll look into it. I’m also trying to get a stock of rare herbs, spices or potion ingredients.”

"I have a normal Hearty Radish," Link says, before pulling out a normal hearty radish. It is indeed a very nice looking radish. Like somehow eating it will make you feel better than ever.

But it is indeed a normal, average size. Not particularly large.

"...Just got one," he says, looking at it. He hadn't been able to bring himself to cook with it; once it was gone, it was gone. And then he'd have no radishes at all.
