[She can do this!! Actually, she hadn't expected to get a full lesson tonight, and she's not about to waste the opportunity—so, she nods firmly as she ties on her apron.]

I'd love to! As long as I'm not in your way. At Chaldea, I don't get a lot of time in the kitchen . . . but that doesn't mean I'm not interested. Both for my own sake, and if I ever want to feed anyone else. I can't count on the cooks forever.

[Can she? It's a complicated question. The idea of a future post-Chaldea feels very far away right now, and who knows how she'd feel about it anyway if the time ever came. But now isn't the time to dwell on that, is it? It's worth it enough just to be able to surprise Ritsuka with a meal sometime!

Properly aproned up, she steps up to the row of salmon fillets on the counter, at the ready.]

And that sounds delicious. They look so fresh.
