Hmm... Maybe! It's been a long time since I've had breakfast here, after all! [Like two days...
But Oz will take his plate of breakfast treasure and tromp his way back on over to the table, pleased with the meal that's about to be had. IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. He can almost focus entirely on that and forget that he came here to talk about some really dire stuff-!!
After taking a first bite of bacon:]
Just like I hoped! Your cooking really is the best, Gil!
[ and he's thinking with great concern oh god did he not eat breakfast in the last 20 or so hours ? This is definitely concerning.
But, Oz is able to distract Gil, mostly, and he smiles over from still working to finish up the bacon. Of course he always appreciates Oz love of his cooking, but you know... it's Oz how can he not appreciate it continuously?! ]
I'm a little worried what you are eating when not my cooking, if it's so enjoyable again. [ actually a lot worried because didn't he feed you recently or was that Dinah...!! Not that Oz has never not gone out of his way to be excited about it, but, still... ]
If you think so, though, that's all the confirmation I need.
I've been trying to cook for myself more, lately! [Which says about all that needs to be said, considering Oz still occasionally sets fire to his apartment even after having months to get used to the appliances in the kitchen...
But he'll crunch his way through about half of that piece of bacon before speaking up again.]
You know, I've tried a lot of cooking since I got here! People make extra food all the time, and there are so many restaurants... But yours is still my favorite. [His smile becomes a little more subdued after that, and he says (to his eggs):]
I'm glad you're here. I know it isn't the best place to be sometimes, but... [It's already hard enough without Alice. He's not sure he would be able to handle things even half as well without Gil, too.]
[ Gil actually really smiles at that, looking back to the stove a moment longer before pulling the pan off to bring over to the table. ]
I'm glad you're here, too. It doesn't have to be the best place; if you're here, it's where I belong.
[ and Alice missing does make it hard, and he knows it far more so for Oz than himself.
He puts a some more bacon on Oz's plate before putting some egg and bacon onto his own, finally setting the remaining pieces on a plate in the center of the table for easy grabbing later and returns to go turn the stove off and set the pan down on an alternate burner to cool off. ]
And... you will be making food just as well with a little more time. [ ok maybe not but Gil is biased and Oz can do anything (but it'd be a lie to say he's not happy at the idea Oz doesn't and depends on him, instead, so no complaints from Gil here, ever. ]
[It's not strange to hear Gilbert say something like that, but it's definitely comforting. He knows that he can depend on him whenever he needs to (even if he tries to gain a little independence in certain areas), and it's nice to be able to lean on someone so wholly if need be. He's still not very good at actually doing the leaning, but he's trying to expand his ability to trust others and include others and not traipse off into situations alone when there are people who would want to help.
He beams at Gilbert from across the table when he sits down again, swinging one foot idly beneath his chair.]
That's a little too hopeful for this situation, isn't it? [His expression says TEASING IS INCOMING--] It'd take years and years to catch up! Unless you have any secret tips or tricks to becoming a good chef really quickly... Ah! It's the apron, isn't it? I'll have to get the cutest one I can find!
[HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING A SERIOUS CONVERSATION BUT HE KEEPS SIDETRACKING HIMSELF WITH STUPIDITY.]
