Thank you. [ Even compelled to tell the truth - apparently it was important and true enough to voice genuine gratitude before expanding upon anything else, for Zechs. He accepted the water and took a large swig, immediately feeling better. ]

I do not fault you for asking me such a question, Quattro, it comes from a place where you are attempting to divert my impulsion to speak the truth and protect my privacy - your understanding and empathy are among your great qualities. [ Zechs looked at his glass of water instead of at Quattro, at that, eyes slightly hidden by bangs. He cleared his throat. ]

Things I remember from when I was very young. Pfeffernusse, lebkuchen ... one can find hanuta in shops around Europe. Of savory dishes, pirozhki, bourguinon, paupiettes, pommes anna ... [ bemused; ] ... somehow the more rustic presentations are what I prefer, even if I believe a lavish presentation would've been more faithful to what I had actually eaten, once.
