Breakfast.

It may be because of the nervous energy of having an unknown person sleeping in his apartment but Toby woke up before his alarm and, still groggy, walked to the fridge. He usually had a bottle of eggs with his personal mix of spices and herbs in the fridge so he can quickly make omelettes and the like when he has no energy to make food or when he has unexpected guests. The latter rarely happens as Toby rarely has guests at all. As the egg heats up in a pan he puts a few slices of bread in the toaster, sprinkles cheese on the egg-mix and throws some bacon in a different pan. Not the same pan as the egg or the bacon won't become nice and crunchy. Toby is too absorbed in the smells and the routine work of making breakfast that he didn't notice his guest woke up and is now standing in the doorway of his bedroom, leaning against the side of it and looking at him strangely. Maybe the smell of bacon woke her up.

''Do you make breakfast for everyone who breaks in here? That's no way to deter burglars, especially if it tastes as good as it smells.''

Surprised by the unexpected voice but too sleepy to be startled, Toby calmly replied: ''Technically you didn't break in as you didn't break anything. And yes I take every opportunity to practice my cooking, even when said guest is uninvited. Especially as you look too smart to harm someone who cooks tasty food for you, and if there is one thing I'm confident in it's my cooking. So, eat up and tell me if you want more, I've got plenty spare ingredients.''

While she enjoys Toby and his guest enjoy their breakfast Toby notices that though she eats pretty quickly she also eats very neatly, not even a crumb of toast is spilled and nothing ends up on her face or clothes. The way she holds her utensils, the way she sits, where she places her hands, it's all according to the etiquette as Toby learned it in England. Not a word is spoken during the meal, yet both have learned things about the other as they spent what little attention the food didn't demand of them on observing each other.

As Toby gets up and starts to collect the dishes his guest interrupts him.
