[Lea was definitely not a coffee drinker, thanks to having tasted Xigbar's truly terrible brew; it would be enough to make most anyone a lifelong tea drinker. So Dove's selection was most appreciated, his brief look through it having brought a few new blends to his attention that he might have to try sometime. But that would be later.

Right now, he's busy trying to figure out how to respond to Dove's gratitude. Under normal circumstances, he'd just brush it off, say that it was nothing, but it clearly wasn't nothing to her. In fact she'd said it was everything.]

Don't worry about it. Making sure you're taken care of makes me feel better too, honestly.

[With that he headed over to the fridge, pleased to find a wide variety of vegetables and even a few fresh herbs. Combined with the dry spices and egg noodles Lea had spotted while searching for the tea, he knew exactly what he was making. Pulling some carrots, celery, potatoes, leeks, tomatoes, green beans, fresh parsley and a few other things out of the fridge, he set them all down on the opposite end of the counter from where Dove was sitting before hunting out a cutting board and a largish pot.]

Easier to make a good amount of it; that way I won't have to adjust the recipe. And it keeps well too, so you'll have enough left for meals for a couple days, since I don't know if you'll feel much like cooking.

[Given her current state, he was almost certain she wouldn't, which made this choice of recipe even better.]
