[ he looks a little startled, because—even though others have started to hand him their friendship, it's still not something he's used to receiving. so often he's kept at a distance, an arm's length or on a pedestal, just far away from people to miss them, deeply and desperately. for all the power that comes with being a noble, he wonders if he would have been happier if he was born amongst the people.
somehow, in this horrible, wretched place, this accursed game, he's made more friends than he ever had at home. it's sombering—it's hopeful. he lets out a little huff, and smiles. ]
That is what friends do, isn't it? Then let me help you as well. [ what dimitri lacks in culinary pizzazz, he makes up for with studious effort. ] I'm used to preparing food with the other students when we were on kitchen duty... Or if you need ingredients, I can fetch them for you.
