"So you're saying that it's a good thing I didn't go for a whole suckling pig."
He grins at her. "I felt it was only right to make you a meal after all you've done for me. But also I make breakfast every day so I figured leftovers from that count." He's the most thoughtful. "I also made you a coupon."
He flicks it over to her hand with a touch of air. Redeemable for one completely honest answer.
"How in the world would I eat an entire suckling pig?" She pauses, then
adds, "How out-of-the-world either." It's always best to be careful with
semantics around Erskine.
The coupon gets him an actual smile, if a small one, and she tucks it
carefully into a pocket. "I'll have to consider the best use for that."
"I never said you should eat it alone. Sharing is a virtue. Though there's also refrigeration if you really wanted to have it all to yourself. Or you might be transformed into a werewolf or something, I bet you could eat an entire suckling pig then." The list of possibilities isn't endless but he could probably go on for quite a while.
"I hope you always do." He raises his eyebrow slightly but his grin undercuts any attempt he might pretend to make of serious judgment.
"Lark and I discussed werewolf transformation once. I'd prefer to avoid
it." No thank you, Erskine. It took Tris long enough to get comfortable
in her own skin. She doesn't want to go through that again.

"Generally I don't appreciate my breakfast looking at me at all."
She'll eat it, probably, she just has to ask, "What made you decide porridge was the appropriate way to commemorate the occasion?"
