[Contrary to popular belief, daylight is not instantly fatal to vampires. A few hours out in direct sun unprotected, yes - but brief or oblique exposure is no particular hazard.

Which is good, because Len's mansion has a lot of windows. And he's up early, before sundown, waiting for his new housekeeper to arrive.]

[he huffs an amused sort of sound before he can stop himself, and follows after. foooooood :9]

[they seem to be eating in the kitchen, rather than in the larger dining room; probably on account of the smaller table in the kitchen. it's sized perfectly for two people.

the table is COVERED WITH FOOD. there is the weird German food, and of course the steamed rice, and gyoza. and there's tea. and... that's about it. he appears to have made everything in quantity, however.

Len pulls out a chair for Kaito, smiling]

[he mumbles a quiet "thank you" as he takes it, but his attention is mostly on the food.

there's no way he'll be able to eat even half of this, and he doubts the doctor will either. there will be leftovers from this meal, and the doctor still has his hamburger, and realizing that... that's when it really hits him that he won't be going hungry tomorrow. maybe not ever again, if he's careful enough with this chance.

he doesn't smile, precisely, but the look he gives Len while waiting for him to sit is nowhere near as guarded as before.]

[Len seats himself promptly; before serving anything, he bows his head and claps his hands together]

Itadakimasu!

[that's not the way a foreigner new to the country would do it. his body language suggests the familiarity of someone who's been here a long time.]

[he does blink at that, although it doesn't stop him from echoing the doctor. ...or immediately going for the gyoza :9]

[enjoy dem gyoza :D serving himself some rice and blutwurst]

[he is definitely enjoying dem gyoza. chewing contentedly on one while waiting for the doctor to finish with the rice]

[that would be now. YOUR TURN KIDDO]

[ALL OF THE SCOOPS OF RICE. ALL OF THEM. ...and an extra. because he can.

swallowing his gyoza]

Mmm. ... This is good.

[hungry kids can have all the rice they want, forever

also he's lighting right up at that compliment]

Ah, do you think so? It's been a long time since I've actually cooked...

[that is still really weird. he can't imagine being that open with his feelings at all]

...Do you have people to do it for you?

Mostly I just forage, or eat out. I just find that, living as I have been, I haven't really felt a need to cook.

[ruminating over that]

...I wouldn't mind cooking for you, too, if you wanted.

[considers. well, if his cooking is good, then eating human food regularly wouldn't be too difficult. he smiles]

If you would want to, then I'd like that.

[shrugging a little, but he looks satisfied]

I would be cooking for myself anyway. Making extra isn't difficult.

Then, by all means!

[tucking into his blutwurst. mmmm blood |9]

[ewwwwwww. averting his eyes for the sake of his appetite]

[oh well, your loss]

[how is keeping my ability to continue eating the good stuff my loss?

...speaking of, he still hasn't touched the apfelspätzle, for some reason]

[because blutwurst is good stuff

finishing his blutwurst, reaches to serve himself some more, along with a helping of apfelspätzle

... oddly untouched apfelspätzle]

Kaito, did you want some of this?

[...blink]

Isn't it dessert?

...Oh. Well, it could be!

You did say there was brown sugar in it...

[...going ahead and grabbing some, though. smells good :9]

It's sweet, but it's generally served as part of the meal, rather than as dessert.

There's some ice cream in the freezer for dessert, actually.

[freezing with his last gyoza halfway to his mouth. YOU HAVE HIS FULL ATTENTION, DOCTOR]

Wha— really?

[I should probably be embarassed over sounding so unabashedly eager but fuck that, ICE CREAM]
