Adrien chuckled as he twisted the cap of the jar open. He spread the jam on his bread neatly, with measured movements of the knife; he then brought the bread to his mouth, and gave it a vigorous bite.

"The jam is amazing - thank you so much".

A faint laugh shook Valerion's shoulders. "It better be! I wouldn't trifle with low-grade jam".

"I am glad, because this is easily some of the best I've ever had", Adrien said, cheerfully. "But -- um -- are you not having anything?".

"Oh, right", Valerion said. He moved his fingers, and a cup of coffee on a saucer appeared in front of him; he slowly grabbed the handle and took a sip. He put down his cup again, a delighted expression spreading over his face. "Thank you; I got a bit sidetracked thinking of my messy kitchen".

"Don't we all", Adrien chuckled.
