[ City people like to say they don't know their neighbors, but damn, every single one he's met is nosy as hell.
More disgusting grease intake, as Daryl assumes she's going to leave. She doesn't, and so he exhales in a rush, and sits back as he begins to deface the napkin dispenser, shoving his fingers into it to drag out a stack of napkins instead of tediously drawing them out one at a time. ]
I always cook for myself.
[ In fact, Daryl was proficient in the kitchen years before most children, because it was either that or starve. Skills that have evolved to being able to feed himself in even the most dire scenarios, which has kept him (and others) alive in the apocalypse. From deer to snakes, and wild mushrooms to worms, he knows what he's doing every manual step of the way. (Forcibly shoving thoughts out of his head, about those and others; it's fine. It'll be fine.)
Fast food is a novelty. Always has been. Before, because it cost money, and now, because it plain hasn't existed in years. ]
