[ oh no, now you've done it. his expression goes kind of wistfully fond for a few moments as he pokes at his food ]
...Thanks. It's actually my adoptive father's last name, so I sort of get gooshy over it... ah, don't mind me.
[ pancake. in mouth. ...maybe he can get his dad to come visit by mentioning a kid existing in the vicinity. on the other hand his dad would be really aggressively his dad... dilemma. ]
[ ...fretting over something to do with his last name. filing that away to the same place he's been filing everything else away, including the familiarity of his features and those blank spells
ducking his head in a bashful sort of nod, and then lifting it again to eye Yael's plate ]
[ congratulations on forcing your body to accept fuel! Chris is very pleased. there's still leftover pancakes but those will be put in the fridge, to likely be ignored rather than actually eaten until they go bad. ]
[ LOOK HE'S NOT ACTUALLY OFFENDED. sometimes you just don't want to eat anything, because you're sick or stressed or you fucking can't taste anything anymore because your head is too full of a billion other lifetimes. it's cool, he's just glad Yael managed to get down a decent amount.
popping the last of his own pancakes in his mouth and snagging both plates to wash them off, humming under his breath ]
Do you want me to get you a waterbottle with a straw or something? Sometimes it's easier if you can set yourself up to drink on autopilot while you're doing something else.
I am occasionally good at that. Ah, that reminds me, though... You've kind of spaced out a few times. Is there anything you can think of that I could do to help bring you back if you're having trouble on your own? Or anything I really shouldn't do, either/or.
[Seems somewhere between thoughtful and reluctant, but at least he has an excuse for his specific issues in this life. It's convenient, if annoying as ever to deal with.]
...Mm. I think it might be best to leave it to me, but if I ask questions, answer them if you can?

no subject
Is that really good?
[nice cover kiddo]
no subject
If you like sugar. It was a family thing, I grew up eating it like this.
no subject
Oh. Speaking of family, I don't think I got your last name?

[it doesn't match up... maybe he's just overblowing the similarities.]
That's a nice name.

A very nice name, then.
[but if his name used to be different...
maybe Yael should just hope it isn't the case. but Chris is a vampire. maybe he simply won't remember?]

...Not hungry?

Not hungry. It's good, though. Maybe we can save it for when I am hungry?

[nods!]
Okay. I'll have more.
[he'll manage all of it since he's putting his mind to it now.]
no subject
Ah, thanks.
no subject
Just shrugs and hunts down a glass to get himself water. Might as well hydrate while he's at it.]
