yes!! he's very respectful so I don't think it was a big deal. but... again, he's very old fashioned and grew up kinda sheltered on a farm so I feel like he wouldn't be able to really get vegetarianism entirely? which... lots of fun squabbling. anyway, a combination is good! his being in england is recent, with the shop opening just a few months ago, but it can be a recent thing that still feels like an open wound? but then also his personal history is pretty open still/i'm improvising a lot of things so i can throw in any kind of encounter or some time in england to explain things!
