I'll be waiting. Although I must warn you, we are going to enjoy something quite interesting tonight.
[ and ignis is totally waiting for him, with a dining table of rich salmon sashimi, raw beef, sliced in neat, bite-sized pieces, an unopened bottle of wine, and two small, burning hot marble slabs in front of their plates. ]
...But why isn't the food cooked? He's so confused. But Ignis still gets a sweet, lingering kiss even in the confusion, his attention focused on Ignis for those few moments. He stands with one hand on Ignis' arm once his jacket is shrugged off, looking the food over.]
Raw fish? And I'm terribly surprised you trust me to cook something on my own.
[ HIS PEOPLE COLONISED HALF THE WORLD HE CAN AFFORD TO BE ADVENTUROUS
ignis can't help a swell of amusement and endearment when he sees that confused face, because he's pretty sure this is the first time he's seen a look like this on his handsome, lovely albert james moriarty. he can't help a soft chuckle, gently guiding him to the table.
he picks up a pair of chopsticks (don't worry, he has a fork for albert), dips a slice of fish into the small plate of soy sauce, and eats it to show him that it won't kill him. and when he is not dead, he gestures for him to take a seat. ]
But okay, sure, he's going to the table and watching with an almost comically raised eyebrow as Ignis just... eats... that... raw...
If Ignis can do it, so can he, so once he sits he reaches for the other pair of chopsticks and... looks at the way Ignis is holding his so he can figure out how in the actual hell to do it. The fork is there, sure, but... if that's the right way to eat it, doesn't he need to try?]
it's adorable, albert trying something just because ignis asked him to, and he can't help a small smile as he observes him, settling in his seat adjacent to him so he can help him out with everything about this dinner. the hot stones are sizzling hot, still, and he deftly takes a slice of wagyu beef to lay it on, the rich meat smoking on the slab. ]
It's a new experience that I thought you'd enjoy, eventually.
[ he muses, patiently waiting for him to try at least the first slice. ]
[The amount of concentration on Albert's face is almost comical, but he smiles up at Ignis every few moments as he struggles with the chopsticks a few times. He gets the hang of it, though, and gamely plops the little sliver of fish into his mouth.]

1 fear.Color him intrigued. He makes his way to the apartment, just glad he's going to see Ignis for the night.What he finds when he steps inside is... well, it's Ignis cooking again, he supposes? But...]
Darling, what's this?
no subject
well... ignis technically didn't do the cooking but expert slicing of sashimi counts as some effort maybe? ]
It's a surprise, dear Albert. [ he gives him a greeting kiss as albert enters, helping him with his jacket. ]
I assume you haven't experienced the intense flavours of premium raw fish, and cooking your own meat on a hot slab of stone.

It's a safe delicacy, my love. Come, sit.
