[ Drake keeps going, putting the meat to marinate and starting to chop the vegetables. ]
My ma was a terrible cook, but she watched a ton of cooking shows.... I picked a bit up from that, I guess. Learned just enough to impress a date. But I didn't really have to cook regularly until Hadriel where takeout wasn't an option. Everything there was terrible canned shit unless you made friends with somebody who had a garden, or fished, you know?
[ And he'd made friends with all of those people, because he had someone to feed. Someone he wanted healthy, someone who lit up tasting things he'd never had before. Drake smiles a little. ]
The other you, he didn't complain, but admitted he missed things. So I figured out how to make them. Wasn't easy... the way I was there, I couldn't taste much, but our friend Lup helped a lot. And after years of cooking every day it turns out you get pretty good at it.
