"Mmm...I suppose it can be done without- unless you'l allow me to take trimmings of the fat? Truly that is all that is required." Fat and the barest traces of meat for flavor, but most of the work will be done with the oil and the egg, perhaps a bit of the cheese he'd gathered on his way over. It could work. It would.

"Please. Sit, drink, perhaps I can treat you with something sweet for your indulgence." There is, well. Flour and eggs and he has his own bag of sugar he has yet to crack into, ginger and the oil for frying. Something simple and creamy shouldn't be difficult to whip up. "Perhaps I can explain what I am making? So you know what I have used. On my name I have not taken anything that was in low stock or scarce, you have my word."
