[ But that's not the same? Even if it kind of is. Mayhaps he was simply looking for an excuse--
Goodness, he needn't come off like that. G'raha starts to rub the back of her neck when Eliot makes up for his own fumble. He looks up again, ears perking. ]
[ There's something about G'raha's interest that makes him feel a little bashful, which is not a word anyone has ever used to describe him. Ever. There's an urge to shift or fidget or rub the back of his neck that he very deliberately doesn't give in to. Because he's not a goddamn teenaged boy. ]
Yeah, it's kind of a hobby of mine. Friend got me started on it. You know, fancy classes at a cooking school and all that. Guess I really took to it.
[ An understatement, seeing as how it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that learning to cook helped save his life. ]
Not a professional or anything but I used to cook for my friends a lot back on my star. Been missing it a little, I gotta say.
[ A hobby! Not just a skill born of necessity, which G'raha has a feeling that Eliot has collected many of those over the years. If anything, G'raha looks a little more eager and impressed as the tip of his tail starts to twitch back and forth.
Yes, G'raha enjoys eating a nice meal--something he's grown to appreciate much more now that he actively needs to eat on a regular basis once again--but to be prepared by someone whose company he enjoys and opinion he values? That is a gift indeed. ]
I have a feeling you might be underselling yourself, Eliot. But if you are truly amendable, I would be honored to try your food.
