[Aether showering him like this is really nice, but the host in him simply can't let him do all that for Thoma in his own house.

I'm not used to people making food for me, so that would actually be really nice. As for the rest, please, let me take care of things. I can't have you doing chores while you're a guest here. But I am tempted to try your cooking! Maybe you can teach me a thing or two in the kitchen, I'm always looking to improve my culinary skills.
