[Considering his own total lack of cooking knowledge, and his general lack of taste, Xie Lian doesn't question the bowl of almonds at all. If anything, he's just grateful to have been thought of!]

Ah, thank you! That's really kind of you...and you cooked these yourself?

[Gonna eat a few right now, yes-]

There was a sale on kitchen utensils at the store, so I went ahead and bought a fruit knife. Can you imagine there being a knife specifically made for fruit? I think it's rather cute though, with its size.
