Drystan started by handing over an egg, which Ercilia dropped by accident.
She lets out a screech, feeling shocked herself at her own clumsiness. When she scrambles to clean it, he waves his hand and smiles in understanding.
"It's alright to leave it for now, Lia…" he assured her.
"Just concentrate on learning how to make a scrambled egg for now, and later, you can look back on this and see how far you've come."
Her eyes shine in enlightenment. He kind of makes sense.
'As expected of a cooking master! He probably learned through this method!'
Little does Ercilia know that everything is going according to what Drystan has planned.
He cooked breakfast today on purpose. Not to brag his skills to her or make her feel jealous, of course, but to let her know in an indirect way that he's more than capable of teaching her. He wanted to be of help more than anything.
'Spending time with Lia is everything I could ask for, after all.'
