[ There are little pleasures that Sebastian has taken to in Kenos, and while it wasn’t the most surprising of them, opening up peoples’ palates was surely among his favorites. Cooking an excellent meal really was the perfect combination of things he loved. There’s the detail-oriented, meticulous nature of preparation, the intellectually stimulating parts of research, and of course, he is a gourmand, though his diet was considerably lighter. Naturally he’d find great satisfaction in providing someone an expertly crafted meal, even if it wasn’t to his own taste.

Plus, he just liked being praised for a job excellently done. He’s simple, in that way.

So, when Sebastian opens the door, Bondrewd is first greeted with an elegant smile by Sebastian, but also the aroma of something delicious. Right away, it’s clear that Sebastian takes his food quite seriously, but also that it would be quite the treat. ]

Ah, no worries at all, Mr. Bondrewd.

[ Sebastian welcomes Bondrewd inside (and at least one cat definitely peeks out curious to see who the fuck this large creature is), and he’ll go through the motions of taking his coat to hang it, but that’s as easy and automatic as if Sebastian had only just left his job as a butler yesterday. ]

There is still just a bit more I need to do in the kitchen, but as this is an informal affair, please, feel free to join me.

[ He takes a look at the bag and smiles wryly before he starts to lead the way towards the back of the house. ]

You have quite the collection with you already, I see.
