[ It's the sort of sight he always enjoys, and CDC has been especially satisfying for the looks people give him when he produces his excellent food. He simply laughs at first, setting the cake at the small table with a fork, motioning for Ed to sit. While he starts to prepare the tea, he explains very casually, but it's also the sort of thing he shouldn't be so casual about... ]

Oh, I simply made the ingredients I did not already have. It is not difficult, and creating the ingredients from scratch, I tend to at least hide some of the problems with taste...

[ Which is an odd way to put it, but that's because the truth is that Sebastian can create whatever he wants from thin air, though the CDC had limited it to food. He find that a bit unfortunate, since food was his weakness in this area, for he had little context but to guess at the correct taste, since his sense of taste was completely different. Still, it's the sort of difference that truly is hidden once everything is made by hand, which is why he prefers to create the ingredients rather than the finished dish.

He pours the hot water over the tea leaves, steeping it carefully, but the mug is set down shortly afterwards, which smells delicious for just being rationed tea too. He's a cheater in every sense. ]

I hope it is to your liking.
