Gareth couldn't begin to imagine what she was doing in the larder. Maybe she'd given up on cooking, and decided to gnaw on raw potatoes instead. Hopefully she wasn't just going through and licking things. Hopefully if she was she'd set any licked foods aside instead of leaving them.
At least she took her shoes off before climbing on the counters. That was… probably better. He'd wash them later. It was fine.
He had to assume that this was what it was like to watch a child cook, although now he was beginning to have doubts about whether she'd ever eaten. Anything. Having never cooked anything for herself was one thing, but. Surely she'd seen an omelette before. Somewhere. At some point.
At least she had a healthy enthusiasm for vegetables.
He smiled as she presented him with the results of her hard work. "Good job, sweetheart."
He couldn't stifle a snort at the look on her face when she took a bite.
"I don't think I can eat," he apologized. "But I want to try it." He didn't. "Here." He held out his hands so she could pass him the plate and fork. Slicing off a bite with the side of the fork was a bit of a challenge, trying to work around bits of mostly-raw chopped vegetables. Still, he managed to get a passable bite, and didn't hesitate to stick it in his mouth.
The hand with a fork curled into a half-fist to cover his mouth, laugh muffled by a mouth full of god-knows. He managed to chew it enough to swallow, and took a minute to process.
"You did good," he assured her. Hadn't burnt it, and none of the egg was raw. Salty as a motherfucker, but that was probably his own fault for mentioning it. It had the flavor profile of an underseasoned fall chopped-salad with inexplicable egg bits.
But she hadn't burned the house down!
