"Thank you." Elijah felt more confident as he cooked.

"Of course. I've never had a maid or a wife, so I have had to learn and do it on my own. On occasion, someone has fed me out of the kindness of their hearts, but I've never had to depend on it. I'm happy to cook for myself. Do you know how to cook, Will?" He glanced up though he couldn't see him from his position. He walked into the room after washing his hands and placed the lid on the pot.
