[ 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.]
