Lusius agreed to let her cook for him, well... he wanted to help too, but she would somehow make sure that he did as little as possible. She wanted Lusius to relax, stop worrying for a while and just enjoy a nice meal. She had some secret ingredients that she used on her dishes. Surely Lusius would love her herbal tea. Well... she was also excited to eat his food. Nobody had ever cooked for her before.

Lusius was trying to change topics, whatever his nightmare was about, he didn't wanted to talk about it. As much as Shai was worried, she knew that she should respect his privacy. Everyone has their own secrets and things they wish to keep to their own and Shai knew how to respect that. He didn't wanted to talk about his problems, and when Shai said those words to him he got rather uncomfortable.
She would have stopped earlier, but she was worried about him, especially about the thing inside him. Shai thought that it somehow was related with many of his problems.

Even when he tried to change the topics, Shai insisted on it, which she would soon know that was a mistake.
Lusius was almost getting down the stairs, but upon hearing her words he turned back, walking in an aggressive way towards her.
Shai instinctively flinched, certain that he would hit her, but what he did surprised her even more than that.
A warm and gentle hug enveloped Shai. She could feel that it was an honest hug. Even with the awkward and uncomfortable words Lusius said, she knew that he really meant those feelings. 

[color=red]"It's going to be a little chilly down there, this should help."[/color] He said, offering her a jacket before heading to the kitchen.

[color=0072bc]"Thanks..." [/color]she said, holding it tightly against her chest. Differently than it might look, Lusius was actually a very kind person.

She started to smell the eggs and hear as Lusius started to work on the breakfast. Of course Shai wouldn't let herself get behind.
Running down the stairs, she ran to the opposite direction Lusius was. Getting outside, she quickly gathered some wild herbs she used on her tea and water, running back to the kitchen after finishing.

As she put the herbs on the counter, she started to cut and grind them in very tiny pieces. some of them would go into the tea, and the other ones she would use to make a green paste using some olive oil to put on the toast. When the water started boiling, she throwed the herbs there, to make the tea, while she worked on the paste using some olive oil, herbs and some other ingredients.

[color=0072bc]"You should let me cook, you've been working hard since yesterday." [/color]she protested, gently pushing him out of the kitchen.
[color=0072bc]"Go, just sit down and relax, i'll take care of this."[/color] she said when they got near a chair, touching the tip of his nose and gently making him sit down.
[color=0072bc]"You wont be disappointed, I can assure you." [/color]she said when she got back to the kitchen, smiling and dropping some of the bright green paste on the bacon. The moment it touched the hot bacon, a delicious smell filled the room.
