[ Look, Khalid knows that it's not really his fault. He couldn't have known that he'd put Leona through the ringer. A part of him wants to know what it had caused Leona to stop and think about. Though he's not sure that it's the appropriate time to ask that.
[Even if he asked, Leona wouldn't answer. Not right away, anyway. Not after the tense, emotional conversation they had not too long ago. Leona doesn't like dwelling on those sort of things, if only because it's a different kind of complication and one he's not sure how to exactly approach.]
I had to learn while at school. It's one of the few things I couldn't get out of.
[Not to mention Epel had asked him and while he can be all huffy about it and say no, he...can be weak to the freshman. Just a little bit.]
Honestly, it's more like I never had to as a prince and my grandfather had to cram years of Fodlani etiquette and culture in me and only three years to really do it in. Learning how to cook wasn't important.
[ A shrug. ]
The academy was for military strategy and skills. There were plenty of nobles there that could cook. I just wasn't one of them.

[ In other words, the behavior is usual by design. Chances are that Leona is already aware of that. It doesn't really need an explanaition.

So, apologies for putting you through that.

You’re forgiven.

Had no idea you could cook.

[He's not going to do it for free.]

[ Here is a man. Who is absolutely clueless about how Leona might be feeling. But it's totally in line with something that he would say. ]
no subject
It is in line. Which is why Leona's just going to ignore it--]
Need something more than that, wyvern boy.

[ He chuckles. The curry is actually pretty good. However, it does make him miss home quite a bit. ]
Honestly, I don't have much in the way to give.
no subject
[Just being honest.]
Hm, how about information then? Just a simple exchange even if the information may not be worth much.
no subject
[ There's a little chuckle. Of course he isn't serious about it. ]
I suppose I can do that though. The truth is, I've never really had to do anything like that myself.

[A look before he takes another bite out of the bread after dipping it into the curry.]

Chefs exist in both Almyra and Fodlan.

[Even if it's a lot of begrudging on his part.]
I'm never letting you cook then.

[ A chuckle. ]
It's more like I can follow a recipe, but that's the extend of it.
no subject
[Sigh.]
So if I give you basic recipes for a sandwich, you can follow it?
no subject
[ A wink! ]
As for sandwiches, yes. I can manage that much.
no subject
Oh, good then. So I won't have to do all the cooking.
[Don't put that responsibility onto his shoulders.]
no subject
[ Unless it's a fish sandwich, he supposes. ]
no subject
[Which...he misses. :C]
no subject
[ Guess what isn't popular where he's from? ]
no subject
[He tilts his head.]

[ Because pigs take A LOT of water and in an arid climate? Yeah... Better off sticking to other types of meat. ]
