Ah. Dimitri thinks he can see even more clearly what Claude was warning him about, how different Lorenz is from when they were young. He'd never been able to get close enough to the other, not quite, and mostly knew him from a distance. But this... is a far cry from the pride he thought he saw back then.
...Well, he supposes it was likely always there, much like Sylvain's quiet was always with him, and he just never had a chance to see it.
"Hardly," Dimitri corrects him, carefully biting down on his tempura. He thinks he can recognize the shape, roughly... Sweet potato? That would fit the coloration. "Claude would be delighted by you, honestly. Instead of feeling troubled by the different shape, or annoyed at how unlike it was compared to what you've known, you were immediately fascinated. You even complimented it, recognizing its use."
Another bite, finishing the tempura off, and he smiles over to Lorenz. "Appreciation and interest are some of the first steps to thinking further on the subject. You have never had a chance to truly meet other cultures or eat their food like this, so it is understandable to still be on those first steps, isn't it?"
