[The fact that they're sharing a meal may be lost on Kaname, but it hasn't escaped Messer's notice. He's spent too many mealtimes alone not to recognize how rare it is to have company. Politely he accepts every offer of food from her with a quiet thanks, nodding along with her commentary. He's grateful for her ability to lead conversation and listens with interest regardless of import. No matter how small, to him, her words always matter.]

Anything is fine. Considering the circumstance, we can't afford to be picky.

[He's quiet for a moment, chewing thoughtfully, and then adds,]

When we reclaim Ragna, we can have a proper meal somewhere. Any place you like.

[It's an offer with dual-purpose: first, to give her something a bit more substantial than "we're a couple, probably, maybe, privately", and second, to help reassure her that yes, he's going to survive this just fine, and yes, they'll go back together. He's determined; they will reclaim their home. No matter what.]
