[ Finally, her boots have been unlaced and removed, and tucked to the side of the entry way. She steps into the cottage properly, clad only in her stocking feet. She follows the scent of sweet, warm baked goods to get a better look at the cake on the table. ]
No, I— I meant no offense! It is an honorable talent, to be able to cook. [ She's a little embarrassed now, that she's been relying on Aurora to do most of the cooking in their home.
Wanting desperately to change the subject, she pulls out the books she'd collected for him at the library— a compilation of mystery fiction from her own world, a horror anthology, and a collection of maps of the area around Somnius— with many of the pages either torn out or redacted. ]
Here... I gathered what I was able. Hopefully this will suit your needs.
[Katsuki looks over his shoulder and raises a brow. He never thought it to be a talent, really...just a necessity. Yes, he probably doesn't have to add all the spices he does, regulate the temperature as he does, and time and plan everything out perfectly, but...well. Katsuki never does anything in halves. He's always just thought "if you want to eat, you have to cook" and that was that, but he's slowly begun to realize that not everyone shares the same mentality as he does on a lot of things. Been hard to accept, but he's...getting better. Slowly.]
It's not difficult. Not really. Just takes practice. [He shrugs a bit (with a slight wince as he pinches his injured shoulder a little), because it's the truth and he means nothing by it. Anyone can do it - it's just a matter of trial and error and a lot of repetition.] Baking's way easier for beginners, so long as you got a recipe to follow.
[He dusts him off, making sure he's not covered in flour or crumbs, then meander over, leaning toward the books to inspect each of them. Eventually, Katsuki picks up the horror anthology and pops open the cover to take a look at the content table, nodding slowly in approval. The next is the maps, which he sets aside and makes a mental note to copy over later, and the last one, which gets another raised brow and dry chuckle as he looks it over. This will probably be interesting...]
Aa, it'll do. I'll take them back when I've finished them, so don't worry about that.
