[Onni notices the fact that Brook almost says something and pauses what he's doing, looking over at him and raising a brow.]
Do you not eat meat?
[It's said in the tone of someone who thinks that's kind of weird, but considering there's nothing off about Brook's demeanor when he gets the rolls, Onni's first thought is that he's vegetarian. That would be unfortunate, because he'd have to rethink the whole stew thing, but he's willing enough to do that, to get some food into the younger (looking) man.
Onni watches him try the bun, picking at it even though he must be starving and uncomfortable, trying it like he's never eaten bread before. It's good, Onni decides, because eating slow to start is a good idea anyway.]
Ah, good. We found something you like, then.
[He says it almost without thinking, and not realizing how paternal it sounds, because Brook reminds him so much of Lalli, eating only what he's interested in eating and cautious about new foods.]
