Nodding, the student stayed a moment more, as if contemplating the situation. After this, he found himself utterly pleased with the outcome of the mission and smiled a little brighter, as if proud of this. He'd managed to make it in seemingly well with the Headmaster of the school, which was always a bonus. Not to mention, he'd had the ability to do one of his favorite things. Highly relaxed, he let out a small sigh, still accompanied by that proud smug smile of his, and then bowed his head a little, "Thank you very much Headmaster... if you ever need me again, I would be more than happy to assist you. Have a good day."

And with that, Nathaniel felt as if he had certainly overstayed his welcome in the others office. Standing up straight, he gave the other a final glance and turned to leave for now. There was time. Plenty of time. All the time in the world. He would compose himself, perhaps improve more. He would cook more too... and then maybe he could be a kinder person. Maybe someone more suited to delicious things he made. That would be nice. As for now, he was satisfied with things like this. It was good enough.

That was all that mattered.
