[The video turns on and, once again, it catches Eliot outside shirtless while working outside in the early afternoon. This time it's chopping wood, having found some with fungus growing along the outside of it. This keeps up for a good couple more minutes until something interrupts.

Do you want just a lesson with the apples, or in addition to a main course?

Hmm. [Choices, choices.] Just apples! There are so furry many of them.

[Though someone is going to regret Nepeta knowing how to make her own sugar highs. Probably.]

[Oh yes. Especially if he still dislikes being pounced on.]

[Some pouncing will be inevitable, but maybe the worst will be back at her place. Experience with kids has him hoping this.]

But I want to share it with you too!
[Nepeta would probably show up on his doorstep all hopped up on sugar and wanting to play a game. Escape is impossible.]

[HE'LL STILL TRY. ...he's so going to be searching for alcohol at some point, thanks to this excuse.]
Also when the weather is colder, part of the lessons will go into learning how to make soups and stews. Learning to make the broth, and getting familiar with adding ingredients at different points.

[Careful, Eliot, she'll probably manage to get into that too somehow.]
That sounds pawsitively delicious! Where did you learn how to cook so many things?

[Because as much of a loner Eliot is, sometimes kids can be a weak point. Even if they're teenagers. He's not sure if he'll manage to say no when she tries a teaparty. Also he'll leave the liquor at the bar. No bringing it home, even if Nepeta knows not to snoop around for his items of 'interest.']
I started to learn back in high school, and it just kinda stuck. So I continued some classes since then.
[It's all because of the knives, man. 'Hold it one way, dice an onion. Hold it another, cut through 8 Yakuza in a few seconds. All about context, just like people.' Not a direct quote, but approximately what he says.]

[Nepeta is used to hearing no as an answer. That doesn't mean she'll let him get out of it easily!]
I see! ...what's a high school?
[She'd actually approve of that very much. Nothing like having versatile skills.]
