There was external factors that led to [my eating disorder]. A lot of anorexia nervosa can come from control issues or something you’ve inherited but in my case, I believe it was from external factors.

Lucretia, mentally: nailed it
Taako: haha the whole recipe is in my book!!
Lucretia: …
Lucretia: this pretense has been wholly unnecessary

Lucretia: *leafing through a newly purchased copy of taako’s cookbook trying to commit to memory which of his recipes she can and cannot admit familiarity with* okay okay okay this is fine okay
*still later*
Lucretia, sweating: *pointing at recipe for a dish taako made almost every week on the starblaster* hey taako… this looks… good… could you make it??
Taako, drinking a milkshake, only half listening: do i look like i work for free
Magnus: why don’t you just make it yourself there’s instructions right there
Lucretia: um
Taako: the director’s a terrible cook
Lucretia, panicking: how do you… know that..
Taako: i can smell it on you
