[He takes the sugar with a grin and starts adding some to his cup, stirring once he's added enough. He sips the hot liquid and gives a hum of happiness at it. Then she asks if he's alright and he gives a small shrug.]

I suppose. Thank you for letting me in. I didn't want to be alone. And that smells amazing. What is it?

[ Once he's close enough, he's getting a quick kiss on the cheek before Gwen's flipping over a pancake. ]

Any time. I'll start leaving it unlocked for you. How's that sound?

[ She pours batter for another pancake and watches it carefully as she speaks. ]

My brothers favorite breakfast food in the world; pancakes with bacon in them.

I'll do the same then. [He sips his coffee while he watches her cook]

Sounds wonderful. Will you teach me how to do it? [He has no idea how to cook things really...Ursula cooked all the food in the chip shop and that was pretty much the only place he ate so....yeah. This poor kid doesn't even know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich yet]

I can, sure. But uh...fair warning? I'm not the best chef in the world, so in general, my skills are limited to adding water to dry pancake mix and cooking bacon in the oven so it doesn't splatter everywhere.

[ This was probably the nicest morning she's had in a good, long while. Gwen could get used to this. Watching the pancake she has cooking for a moment, she points out the bubbles around the edge. ]

Okay, so...you already saw me pour a bit of batter in. You have to wait until it's sort of dry and bubbly around the edge before you can flip it. Otherwise, it falls apart. And since we're making bacon pancakes, now's the perfect time to add bacon.

[ Which she does. Just a couple slices of already cooked bacon and then they're pushed in a little bit with the spatula before Gwen flips the pancake over. ]

Keep the heat about at medium, otherwise the whole thing cooks far too fast. And after you've flipped it, it's just a short wait before they're cooked.

Well, it's better than I can do. I can open a can of beans and put them in a pot. That's about it.

[He sips his coffee as he watches her avidly without getting in her way. He doesn't want to make her mess up.]

It really does smell so good.

It's something, right? I know people that can barely boil water without causing hell.

[ Leaning towards him a moment, she presses a quick kiss to his cheek and grins. ]

I kinda like waking up to you. It's nice.

I really like that too. [He returns the kiss before moving to refill his coffee cup and heading to the table to be out of the way as she finishes getting the stuff plated.]

Yeah?

[ She'll have to make a point of having it happen more often, then. ]

Hey, you said you wanted to learn.

[ Gwen says, tone teasing. She actually doesn't mind he sat down. She kinda wants to sit down, herself. And the pancake she demonstrated on was the last one, anyway, so she's going to set the plate down on the table and get her own coffee.

Nothing goes in it. She likes it as it is. ]

I'll just teach you next time.

I look forward to it. Mostly because it means there will be a next time. [He gives her a wide smile before taking two pancakes and putting them on his plate. He puts some butter on them because he's found he likes it like that. And not much syrup because while he enjoys sweets he finds he doesn't like a lot of them. Plus his coffee is sweet already.

He takes a bite and groans because it is delicious. salty and sweet and perfect]

This is amazing, dove. Thank you for fixing it for me.

You're welcome.

[ Before Gwen heads to her seat to sit down, she stops near Harry to press a kiss to the top of his head, settling in a seat near him. ]

So, I have an idea. I'm more than fine with you staying overnight. It was kind of neat having you climb through the window like that. What if I left curtains open as an all-clear? That way, you don't have to knock.

Oh, yeah. That's smart. I don't have curtains but Veronica doesn't come in the room ever and all and unless she tells me to close it, I plan on leaving the window open. I'm too used to it to not have it anymore.

Okay. I'll be sure to text you beforehand, just in case.

Sounds good dove.
