"Hey," Cecilia said softly to regain Sirius' attention as he looked away from here, and with a gentle hand on his cheek, she physically urged him to do so. "Your friendship means more to me than their judgment," she assured him. "Simple as that. I told you, the only one whose opinion matters to me, is Jamie, although yours is beginning to gain a bit of significance as well, but as long as I'm not forcing you on him, I don't see how he could possibly have any objections to this..." she shrugged slightly. "If he does, I'll deal with that as well. Alright?"
"Among other things," Cecilia chuckled as Sirius listed all of the things she had to take into consideration here. "You forgot the downpours and generally different climate altogether, but yeah, it's a challenge, but one of the better ones." With a smile, she shook her head. "I'm not a marine botanist or marine anything, for that matter... I prefer my feet on solid ground, so I sincerely doubt that the whale sharks will be much of a concern for me, at least when it comes to my work."
The sound of the timer had Cecilia look to the kitchen, surprised that the food was already done. Time had flown as they had talked, and with a smile she accepted Sirius' hand. "We'll see how regretful you are when you're trapped in your own home, surrounded by edible plants."
In the kitchen, she opened the oven and moved the dish to the counter. Careful not to burn her fingers, she worked open the paper package and smiled satisfied when the aromatic steam came wafting out smelling perfectly. "Perfect," she beamed up at Sirius, and unfolded the paper completely, letting the dish serve as a serving plate for the fish and vegetables. "All we need is the bread and the wine."
