Davin looked over at him, and smiled a little. "Thanks, Tohru." he said, biting his lip a little. "I can…find some recipes, I think."

"No problem, really," Tohru reassured him, "It's possible we'll have to substitute ingredients, if there are any that are rare or unique to Kaythan, but learning new recipes from different places is generally a fun experience. I hope we're able to make it to your liking."

"Yeah, I figured that." he replied, taking a deep breath. "I…thanks, Tohru. Really." he gave the other male a soft smile.

Tohru gave a smile back.
"Just let me know when you want to do that," he said, "and we can start to prepare then."

He nodded a little. "Of course. Thanks again." He smiled softly. "I… should probably shut up before I repeat myself again."

"You're fine," Tohru chuckled, "I'm constantly making a fool of myself and you don't seem to make much of it. This is nothing."

He nodded a little, laughing faintly. "Yeah, alright." He replied, shooting Tohru a quick, faint little smile.

Tohru bit his lip in frustration as some of the chicken stuck to the bottom of the pan. He had been oddly distracted talking to Davin. He always kind of was. He was drawn in by that smile. But he couldn't really mean it, right? Tohru was kind of an idiot at best, and a lying, bastard of a bounty hunter at worst. Maybe a bit of both. Point is, there was no way he could see Tohru in a good light. Davin was probably making it all up, hoping that Tohru would have mercy and not turn him in, or at least would continue to treat him alright.
Tohru had no idea how to convey that he was genuine in not wanting to turn the Kaythani in.

Davin was probably a little too trusting, considering what he was and how long he had been on the run, since he had pretty much taken Tohru at face value, trusting that the bounty hunter had meant what he said about not turning him in.

Tohru finished cooking and seasoning what he had, then did a final check of the vegetables in the other pan before turning the stove off.
"Alright, well that's done," he said.

Davin nodded a little. "What would you like me to do?" he asked, raising his eyebrows over at Tohru, curious.

"It's done. Could you grab some plates? You can go ahead and serve yourself," Tohru replied.

"Of course." he grabbed the plates, setting one down on the counter for Tohru and holding the other in his hands.

"Thanks," Tohru said, grabbing his plate and motioning for Davin to go ahead of him.
He smiled a bit and stepped back.

Davin served himself up some food, then stepped back to give Tohru some room.

Tohru served himself and sat down at the counter after picking up a fork. He hadn't realized how hungry he was until he sat down to eat.

Davin sat down as well and started to eat, tucking into the food hungrily. "Thanks for making this, Tohru." He said after a moment. "'s really good."

"Of course," Tohru muttered, sounding a little surprised at the thanks, "I'm glad you like it. This meal is simple enough, so I can make it again sometime."

Davin nodded a little. "I mean…I'm used to ready-made meals from a box, so anything's better than that, I suppose."

"I suppose," Tohru agreed, "It's probably a welcome change, huh? That is, assuming we continue to live together. But I mean, we will. At least for now."
He took another few bites. It was clear he was hungry. A bit self-conscious at how sloppy he was being, he slowed himself down.

"Yeah, it is." he replied, smiling softly as he looked over at Tohru, then went back to eating. "Thanks for being willing to do this, Tohru. I'm afraid I'm hopeless at cooking."

"I doubt you're hopeless," Tohru laughed, "You just haven't really had much of a chance to learn- and honestly, that's understandable, with you moving place to place all the time."

He nodded a little bit. "Yeah, well. I've tried to follow cookbooks and something always ends up burned to a crisp." he replied with a faint laugh of his own.

"Sometimes cookbooks make things a bit more complicated than need be," Tohru replied with a shrug, "And if your brain gets stuck on perfect measurements and checking off lists, sometimes it distracts from the actual process, and you might leave something unattended for too long, or otherwise mess up in a way you didn't expect. I've burned things before. Hell, I've accidentally started a grease fire, and I never heard the end of that."
"Point is, I'm sure you can learn. You just have to find what works best for you. And sometimes that's not cookbooks."

Davin shrugged a little. "Maybe you can teach me?" he suggested, raising his eyebrows curiously as he looked over at Tohru. "Please?" he smiled softly.
