[Just to make sure that he’s getting something actually legit - there’s no Japan here, so he’s not sure he’d be able to find something comparable.]
It’s different from Indian style curries, but I’m great at cooking so I’m sure you’ll like it! Though I’m not sure I could compare to the cooking of someone you love.
Ah, I do so enjoy that spirit. You're quite energetic, aren't you?
[But let Albert be only slightly embarrassed by that statement.]
That may be so, but I'm also a noble, and by that turn I have duties to attend to, and standards to keep. I had household servants, though they were incredibly few. Once I did try to cook on my own, and Louis cast me out of the kitchen as an abject failure after two rather spectacularly poor attempts.
I think you have a very good point. There are few things worth doing without giving your all.
[Goodness, but he's charming. Albert finds himself distracted by it already. Surely he should be paying more attention to the food.]
Too rich! I'd like to think I'm a man of usable means, it's true. [So funny, because it's not untrue.] Without Louis... Starve to death, perhaps? Then again, as now, some kind soul may see fit to guide me to food.
Yama- Ah, one of my groupmates, keeps telling me I should be more moderate in what I do... But I just don't see why I should when it comes to things like this.
[Pfff. So he's definitely super duper rich. Mitsuki understands.]
I see, so it's like that... [He props his head on his chin, smiling.] Well, I would hate to see that happen to you! It'd be too sad.
[A softer smile, just for a moment, gone as soon as it arrives.]
Why be moderate when something precious is on the line? Ah, but that may be my passionate heart speaking too loudly in polite company.
[Yeah, rich enough that he's going to have a great time playing catch up here.]
It is, I'm afraid. I'm a useless noble. [He props his own chin on the back of one hand.] Should I offer you some kind of deal? Check on me from time to time to be sure I haven't wasted away, and I'll give you something in return?
[His heart... is blackened and charred, really, has been for so, so long, but seeing someone who's clearly a being of pure sunshine makes him wonder what other possibilities exist in this world. A spark.]
I don't have to give you anything? When I'll be taking pleasure in both your company and your care?
[He straightens, smiling faintly.]
Consider it for a while. You may come up with something I can do for you, or something tangible I can offer.

[A little laugh.]
You know... I can't say I cook. You might find me leaning on your hospitality if you aren't careful.
no subject
[He raises an eyebrow - he's not... Unused to people being unable to cook for themselves, but that's mostly people his age or younger than him...]
Well, I don't mind. It's kind of nice to take care of someone! Though you seemed like the sort of person who could take care of himself.

I just think that if you're going to do anything, no matter what it is, you need to give it your all. Even if it's just talking to people!
[He's trying very hard not to laugh.]
I see... So you're too rich to cook for yourself. Or, well, you were. Now what are you going to do without Louis around?

There's nothing wrong with passion and following your heart! People should do that more often, especially when it comes to important stuff!
[Sorry, Albert, he's just... Like This.]
I'm sure you have some uses. [Like bankrolling a concert.] You don't have to give me anything to do that, but I'd be happy to.

No, all of that is free of charge! You just have to enjoy it, and that’s payment enough.
[Okay, Mitsuki.]
But I’ll keep that in mind, if it’ll make you feel better.

[He actually looks amused, and his smile is sincere.]
It seems we'll have each other's company to look forward to for quite some time.
