Lorioth reached out an absentmindedly wiped those eyes, mimicking Rylenn's motion as if he didn't know any more. Maybe the boy was rubbing off on him, in a good way. He didn't say anything. Didn't know what to say without coming across too personal or condescending.
People could be like that, he knew himself too.
Instead, he stared at the food, smiling slightly to himself with a shake of his head. "Why not this school? It offers hope." and he swiftly changed the subject by motioning to the food.
"To be honest, I'm glad you're here. My kitchen hardly sees any use if it's just me around." shy, he peered slightly closer.
Whatever it was, it was starting to smell good.

Rylenn blushed brightly. He reached up and almost touched the other's hand before realizing. He cleared his throat and smiled gently. "It's hard.. I've been offered hope before... and I wound up naked on the street corner literally." He really didn't want to talk about it, but would if the other wanted. "You see.. I don't have very good relationships period... you and Professor Dante... are the only stable ones.. I think.. but... I'm afraid." He was honest..."
He smiled and sighed. "I'd love to cook every night.. truthfully.."

Poor, poor boy.
Staring at him for a little while longer then necessary, he nodded his head. "You'll meet others. I felt the same way at first, but the people here give you more then you think they can." Dante, was it? Perhaps he should speak to this professor too. It seemed they had more in common than just a profession. "Even Javelin-- Even she gives you something in return that is priceless." he smiled.
Not that he'd admit this to her face. He laughed, almost. A soft almost giggle that escaped before he realized how awkward it would be. Laughing after speaking of such private matters? That wouldn't do at all.
Moving towards another set of cupboards, he grinned impishly at Rylenn. "You need to prove your cooking skills first."

Rylenn smiled weakly. "And if they reject me? I don't know if I could take it.. Hell.. I don't know if I could take you or Dante rejecting me." He offered a piece of meat. "Try.."
It was very hot of course... but it was slightly creamy from.. something... unknown yet.. He smiled. "Rosemary.. cheese.. milk.. pepper.. salt.. chicken.. try.."

Lorioth reached out and pulled a half empty bottle of wine. Half empty not because he himself indulged, but because Javelin had managed to successfully hide it in his own room.
The woman seemed to think as long as it wasn't in her domain, indulging had no consequences.
Placing it on the counter, he leaned over and felt the slight heat come off the food. He blew on it slightly, because the man could be sensitive to food-- and realized how immature he must have appeared.
A slight blush touched his cheeks as he took a bite.
Hey.
It was good.
Closing his eyes with appreciation, he smiled.

Rylenn snagged it and ate the other half. He chewed for a moment and murmured. "Needs more alfredo..." He murmured and began to put some more stuff in it. "Cooking is like chemistry.. it's very very easy.. but very tempermental.." He looked at Lorioth with a smile. "Is that wine for us?" He winked and moved
He turned his back to Lorioth and continued to cook, putting different things in and humming a slight tune before... "So am I hired..?"

More? Chemistry? Lorioth shook his head. "I understand why someone might say that, but I don't think I'll ever be privy to the science behind cooking." Indeed, he knew for a fact that many refused to eat anything he made in the kitchen.
Glancing at the bottle, he laughed. He couldn't remember any more why he had pulled it out- he hardly indulged, even with Javelin to coax him! It must have been because it seemed to suit the mood, somehow.
"Are you even old enough?" he asked, amused. Well. Lorioth himself was, and maybe he would indulge in just a glass.
Walking to the other side of Rylenn to bring out one glass, he tilted his head to watch. "If you can keep up with your other work...maybe"

Rylenn smiled and leaned close. "Even if I'm not of age, I'm Catholic. I've been drinking since I was 12." So what if it was in very small amounts once a week. It was technically still drinking!
He stretched and murmured. "I don't think you need to worry about my keeping up with my other work.. I can bring it here.. and work as I cook.. and if I have a question.. I can ask you.." He grinned. "You make me almost want to become Science and Technology.." He grabbed some bowls. "Now go sit down and pour me a glass?"

Lorioth laughed, deciding to take it as a compliment. So magic, then? He could somewhat imagine the boy going in that direction, and it pleased him to think he could do such a thing.
Imagine, that was.
Wondering vaguely if he was being bossed around and then deciding that he didn't mind too much (sometimes Lorioth was too passive for his own good) he picked up another wine glass and took his offerings to the little dining table.
Pouring just a fraction for the student and just a little bit more for himself, he sat down and watched Rylenn. This was how a kitchen was supposed to be used...

Rylenn looked at Lorioth and smiled. He padded to Lorioth and put a hand on his shoulder. "If... I trust anyone.. it will be you, Lorioth..." He leaned down and smiled. He stole the other's wine and took a sip. "Mmm... no fair.. more than me.. " He smirked and winked. Precocious..? Mebbe just a bit.
He offered the professor a plate of food. "Eat and be merry.. for good wine and good company make a happy home.." He sat down and began nibbling on his own food. He made a face and stood. He padded and grabbed the cheese and put more on top before putting a sprinkle on Lorioth's.
He paused before grinning. "Cheese is love." Was the only explaination the other was willing to offer. He began eating now, starving.

Lorioth laughed, unable to really determine how to react. But laughter-- laughter was good for everything and with this in mind, he took a sip of the wine too. The food...
"It looks great." he admitted, finding it unnatural to see home prepared meals on his dining table. Unless he bought something from the cafeteria, it was hardly used, with food in mind.
"Then I suppose we are a happy home." he considered quietly, taking a bite of the food with the extra cheese with a surprised widening of the eyes. "Where did you learn to cook like this?"
It was good. And frankly, while he had no problem doubting the boys skill, it was still a curious thing to behold.

Rylenn smiled and blushed. "Mmm... a happy home.. I don't remember what that is..." He grinned. "You'll have to show me.." He leaned to one side and watched Lorioth. He smiled gently. His eyes lidded and he sighed. "I really don't want this to end.." He admitted. He looked down at his food.

Lorioth laughed. Taking a sip of his wine and another bite of his food, he watched the other boy for signs of... well. Lorioth wasn't sure. Unease, falseness. Suspicion. Maybe. But also to make sure the boy was alright. This was nice. Pleasant.
"Who would have thought?" he murmured to himself. "That I'd be having dinner with the student who ruined my experiment?" It was said partially to himself, and also in half tease too.
Because some of it was true. Who would have thought he'd be sitting here, doing this? "Rylenn." he said, half serious, half doctor. "If you ever need someone to talk to, you can always come to me."
It hadn't helped, for himself. In fact, he had never talked to anyone who had offered on purpose. But Lorioth understood why people say this. It made it seem... easier. Better. For the person offering.

Rylenn laughed softly and looked up at Lorioth. "I'm afraid even you, my dear doctor, can't chase away the demons that haunt me at night, but it's appreciated.. very much so.." He searched out all his chicken before eyeing Lorioth's bowl with an innocent grin. "Who would of thought elves and the like were real and we'd be sitting here chatting about such things...?" It was a truthful question.. until just a bit ago this place was fantasy.. nothing more than a childish dream.
He gave Lorioth a sad face and began to even beg off the other.

Lorioth smiled. Indeed, it had seemed the same way to him too, when he had first arrived. The elves. The teachers. The school. The freedom he was given with his work with nothing expected in return. It was so... so... liberating.
Staring at the face and not understanding what it was for at first, he ate another piece of chicken, chewing slowly as he tried to decipher the meaning behind the puppy dog expression.
And almost laughed.
"Do you want some?" he asked, holding out a piece on his fork with the intention of dropping it onto Rylenn's plate. It was such a childish, familiar action that he couldn't help but almost chuckle. "You only have to ask."
