During the third step, Krile will comment on the player also having cooking abilities if 
Culinarian has been leveled.
Etymology
Repast is an archaic Middle English word meaning "food." The Japanese and French localizations use normal, modern words for "meal" and "feast," respectively. Meanwhile the German uses a different figure of speech referring to the stomach.

Dialogue
I hope I have been of sufficient service to the Third Promise.
It's thanks to Wuk Evu that we were able to learn this forest's history.
That's twice now that he's helped us. To think that we might never have met him if we hadn't thought to fix the float...
Wuk Evu has given us valuable insight into the origins of xibruq pibil.
However, we are still no closer to procuring the necessary najool leaves. Unless...
Tell me─was that historic feast commemorated in some fashion? With a monument, for instance?
Indeed it was. Allow me to show you.
It is only speculation, but I dare to hope...
What does Koana want with a monument?
Here it is.
Offered up by the two factions, these weapons symbolize their vow that they would never again raise arms against each other.
Since this feat demands a journey through history, I thought it only logical that a monument like this might steer us true.
Especially one at the heart of so significant a battlefield.
Lamaty'i, Forename─would you help me search this area for clues? Tell me if anything catches your eye.
Sure thing!
Look here─this soil has been recently overturned.
Oooh, someone buried a box!
Well, well... I would have been satisfied to find only a hint, but here they are─fresh najool leaves.
Hunmu Rruk's doing, I'd wager. There's a poetry in hiding them on this battlefield, given that it was central to the war they helped end.
Heh! So he planned all this from the start!
Thank you again, Wuk Evu. We wouldn't have found these leaves without your help.
It was my honor to render assistance.
And, with apologies to present company, allow me to offer my encouragement as well, Third Promise. Ever since I witnessed your performance in the Feat of Reeds, I have been certain that you are the claimant most worthy of leading our nation.
All devised solutions to the Hanuhanu's ailing crops, but you alone sought to know their culture and revive Ihih'hana, even if it seemed unrelated to your task.
In my humble opinion, no one cares more for the people of Tuliyollal and what they hold dear.
Should you again require the historical musings of an old shipwright, I am ever at your service.
For now, I take my leave.
I cannot argue with that...
...We have what we need. Let us return to Iq Br'aax.
You have to wonder whether Wuk Evu is actually a historian and not a shipwright.
I'm glad we were successful. The others should be back soon, I expect.
I hope so─I'm famished!
How did everyone fare?
We got the najool leaves! Wuk Evu came along and helped us find them!
Wuk Evu was here? I would have liked to say hello.
Yes, he gave us an important history lesson...
That Gulool Ja Ja brought an end to centuries of warfare surprises me little─but to achieve said peace through cuisine is something else entirely.
Leave it to my old man to find the oddest of solutions. But how about the rest of you? Is our kitchen ready?
Everything should be in order. Urianger and I made another tour of the village and borrowed the cooking utensils we need─with no mention of what we needed them for, of course.
And I am pleased to report that we are stocked with the finest firewood this forest had on offer.
Spoken like a true expert.
Erenville and I found our ibruq, so we should have meat aplenty.
It was a spirited creature. So much so that its hunter fell down a cenote trying to catch it...
What part of “never speak of this to anyone” did you not understand!?
I picked a good portion of local herbs, with particular attention to the seeds that yield achiote. I'm told our resident astrologian divined the appropriate measurements for the seasoning as well.
Aye. Through further inquiry did I determine the ideal balance of spices.
Then all that remains is to prepare the dish itself. I presume that at least one among us is versed in the culinary arts?
I can hardly claim profound skill, but I have cooked for myself. You can leave the rest to me.
And you, I hope. As I recall, you are an accomplished culinarian.
And you, I hope. I could use your adventurer's grit when it comes to skinning the ibruq.
Oooh, my mouth is watering already!
Without further delay, then!
I'm relieved that our dish was well received.
One final feat remains. After this one, I hardly know what to expect.
Depriving the First Promise of a keystone is a crucial victory indeed.
We need to start considering how to reclaim that keystone from Bakool Ja Ja...
That was sooo good! I'm already looking forward to having xibruq pibil again.
Here, Forename. Krile made more using leftover ingredients. You'll love it!
I'm thinking to buy more for the road, myself. Now that the Feat of Repast is over, the villagers should be free to offer it to us, right?
New wares are now available from the Xbr'aal merchant in Iq Br'aax.
Cutscene 1
Oh, it smells so good!
Good, there is still time. I shall prepare our sample at once.
At first I wasn't sure about being stuck with the one-head, but better that than playing nanny to the mewling house cat.
Hmph. Act tough all you like. Victory will be ours.
Be quiet, Bakool Ja Ja. No one cares what you think.
It's ready!
Apologies for the wait. We submit to you our xibruq pibil.
The dish is prepared by using the culinary techniques of the Mamool Ja to cook the spiced meats favored by the Xbr'aal.
It is a symbol of peace between their two peoples after centuries of war.
This looks amazing!
Both the ingredients and your methods appear to have been correct. Now then...
In taste, texture, and aroma, you have recreated xibruq pibil admirably.
Granted, anyone might well achieve similar results by following the recipe to the letter.
But you went a step further. You sought to learn the cultural significance of the dish─about Yak T'el's history of violence and your father's role in ending it.
Your willingness to take lessons from the past befits aspiring Dawnservants, and for that I commend you.
All that remains is to partake of your creation. True understanding is gained only through experience.
Now this is something I'm definitely good at!
Ahem. I believe we have yet to receive our assessment.
Ours is also a faithful example of xibruq pibil, as you will no doubt agree.
I see...
While your effort looks the part, unlike the Second and Third Promises' dish, it lacks its defining aroma.
Oh? And what about the Ja Tiika banana leaf?
But the Second and Third Promises had no such difficulty, did they? That which they needed they acquired simply by showing interest in our history and heritage.
Your dish lacks an essential ingredient. As you have failed to demonstrate an adequate understanding of xibruq pibil, I must deem your performance unsatisfactory. Your team will not receive keystones.
P-P-Preposterous!
The meat was marinated in spice before being steamed in an earthen oven! This is xibruq pibil!
I-I─!
It's because of you that we couldn't get any damned leaves! You can't fault us!
It's just some crusty old leaf! What difference could it make!?
Hmph. This was stupid anyway.
His ambition only grows more intense. That someone could harbor such dark thoughts towards family...
What do I care for this sham of a feat? I can always take what I need later!
Choke on your harmony.
This is delicious!
The ibruq is so tender, it melts in your mouth! And the way the najool leaf rounds out these spices is sublime!
This is the taste of harmony. Someone who only knows brute force and deception could never appreciate it.
Come, come, finish your meal. That too is part of the feat.
You don't have to tell me twice!
Ah... That was bliss...
You've got real culinary talent. If you ever tire of adventuring, you can always be my personal chef!
It was palatable enough, I suppose.
Well, I should get going, then.
I'm glad that I...uh, wasn't paired with one of the others.
Only one feat left...
To you who have successfully performed the Feat of Repast, I present these keystones.
We can do better than that, surely.
The sixth keystone is ours! Thanks for all your help, everyone.
I forgot something important!
Um...was there any xibruq pibil left? I could really use another helping...
