Oddly enough Connor was glad to have a roommate. Coming 'home' alone to an empty apartment made it all too easy to head down to the pub and kill drinks until the bartender kicked him out. Now that he had someone he felt responsible for (and in a way, Briseis met that criteria) it gave him a reason to cut back on the drinks and be more sociable.
Tonight he'd insisted on making dinner as a way of welcoming her, a lamb stew that would likely be different than anything the young woman from Lyrnessus had ever encountered. He'd chopped up vegetables for the stewpot that were unknown to Europeans of her era: potatoes, tomatoes, maize, along with some peppers, onions and celery for flavor. Until the Columbian Exchange the new crops had never even been imagined, less heard from, and he was looking forward to seeing how his creation went down with his new roommate.
"I hope you've built up an appetite today," he told Briseis as the young woman entered the kitchen area.
