"I can stomach a lot of things these days," Spencer replies brightly. "I'd love to try your handiwork-- I bet Jones is happy to have some extra help. We can cook at my place."

Jones just grumbles in the background, still focusing on his soup. He's kind of a perfectionist about food, even in these trying times. No doubt Daryl will get a gruff thank you later for adding to the meat stores.

Spencer gives Daryl a moment to collect what he needs to, and then he leads the way out of the kitchen. "I never used to be able to cook," he confides to Darryl. "I could do sandwiches and some ready-made soup, but that was about it. I used to just order out a lot."

But the end of the world has made a lot of people learn skills they hadn't known before. He wonders if Daryl had known how to butcher before the world had turned upside down. There's something incredibly attractive about the-- not the butchering thing, specifically, but how capable Daryl is at so many things.

Hmmm. There goes that weird feeling in his chest again. That feeling he's come to associate with I am attracted to this person.

Outside of the community center kitchen, it's getting crowded with people waiting on lunch, and they make their way through the crowd to the street outside, where Spencer begins to take the path to the east. "My place isn't far." Then again, it's a five minute walk from east to west inside this closed community, so, everywhere isn't far.
