[ Zephirin's imagined scene wasn't off the mark — in pursuit of preparing the perfect lunchbox, Francel will spend the remainder of the evening in the kitchen, emerging only when his goal is accomplished — but by the sound of it, this is the norm at his house. The difference between him and Janlenoux is that Francel has had fewer opportunities to cook for anyone not his family, it seems.
That alone could either exacerbate his anxiety, or prove a pleasant change, if Francel lets himself believe that he isn't required to earn Zephirin's company. ]
Then we'll meet to have lunch together and go over anything that you'd like to work on. I'll look forward to trying your cooking, Francel. I doubt that I would dislike any of it. We can use a study room, or would you rather work in the library?
