With admiration only, let no food or drink go to waste.
[He follows after her into her kitchen, moving to her side to wait for his chance to rinse out the glass. It's been a very long time since he last sat down to eat and drink without either rushing or interspersing it with work. It's been even longer since he shared a bed, and never with someone who wasn't family. There's a part of him that wonders what it might be like now, a part that craves crossing the bridge back to fully stand in the land of the living. Another part, the part that knows how restless his sleep is, that knows if he lets her help means relinquishing some control, that fills him with nerves.
He's faced down death and even this sliver of intimacy is terrifying.
If he says no though, he can't pretend he isn't a coward. Not any longer after his flaws have been pointed out to him by his friends.]
Maybe try it. Though you might want to kick me out. I dunno if I snore.
