[ HE'S PROBABLY OKAY?? He's just simply never prepared his own shit before....... ]
Erm... Usually, yes. Growing up, we've had servants at home, and back at the Rising Stones, there was usually a few around who were better suited to the likes of preparing food and drink than I.
Ah... Goodness, you must have been fairly high up, then! [To have RICH PEOPLE THINGS like SERVANTS, damn.] But fortunately, I've found most people can pick up things like cooking and tea-brewing quite easily, even if they don't have a lot of practice with it. It's not so difficult, as long as you have good guidance at the start and common sense!
[Souji believes in him... Alphinaud seems like a sensible guy!! Listen.]
You do seem like you have quite enough! [At the offer, though, his expression lights up! He loves being able to help take care of other people even through something as simple as cooking for them, but also... He's a social creature and NONE OF THESE OTHER DEAD PUNKS EVER HELP.]
Oh! Would you want to? That would be wonderful! I don't know that I'll be the best teacher, but I could probably pass on at least a few useful things... Like how to cook the perfect char on a fish!
[His three top skills... Roasting potatoes, charring fish and brewing tea.]
I don't mind doing them on my own, to be honest! I've always tended to do a lot of cooking and cleaning everywhere I go, now that I'm thinking about it... But I would certainly never turn down the company!
[Unfortunately Sieg is laziness personified, Bucky is feral and greasy, and Clem is out there doing whatever Clems do. And Virgo is... Virgo. SO.]
Growing accustomed to it does not make it all right... Were you being paid for your efforts, it would be a different matter entirely. As it is now, however, you are working solely off your own generosity, and I will not take advantage of it.
[THIS IS SO... CUTE. AND SWEET. Souji is laughing again, the sound light and bright.]
You're so considerate! Goodness, how kind... A few certain someones back home could learn a thing or two from you, too! But, you know, I do much of it because it's something I enjoy, so please don't feel like you're taking advantage! If I didn't want to do these things, then I simply wouldn't.
Of course, of course! It's nice to be able to keep your hands busy here too, I think. Vi-san does their best to help, but those tasks only last so long, haha.
[HOWEVER, because he is a gremlin:] Si-san is very highly food motivated, though! If you have a good treat to offer him, he'll likely take you up on it.

[ The perfect char on a fish.... :9 ]
If naught else, I mind not helping. 'Twould be terribly remiss of me were I to have you doing all the chores all on your lonesome.

[ handwavily saying Alphinaud was so ??? ]
no subject
Oh, yes, I completely understand. So many of the things we've had to do have involved wires and I still have no idea how we got any of it to work!
no subject
[ Okay, tea's finished! Alphinaud will offer Souji one cup tastie hazelnut tea. ]
Clementine as well...
no subject
[Clementine is perfect and he has nothing to tease her about though, she can do whatever she wants forever.
He will gratefully take the offered cup, though!]
Thank you! Oh— [SNIFFIN THE CUP.] This smells wonderful!

If it's dangerous or important, then he would step in, without a doubt. But it's quite hard to get him to lift a finger otherwise, you know!
