[Because if so,] I'd always wanted to take a cooking class or two myself, but I've never found quite enough free time for it, understandably. But it would seem both you and I have more than enough of that to spare, should you find yourself invested in learning another skill.
[Oh, but that description of the food though, that had his full attention. Yes, it did sound good, he'd agree. He didn't miss, of course, the glimmer of a familiar looking stone as she sorts through her pockets for payment. His eyes would brighten at the sight of it, distracted only momentarily by the rice ball.]
Thank you, 'tis kind of you. Remind me to return the favor later. [Already gently plucking one from the box, before he'd pop it in his mouth proper, he'd ask,] Are you one for magic, Mira?
[Mira gets a little pale in the face because she wasn't thinking about when she pulled them out. Which would be worse: seeing her stone or the tattoo on her wrist with the same symbol? She groans and puts a hand to her face.]
Hells, I was going to wait a bit before talking about that since you got here and the last thing you need is a damn surprise. I didn't steal it if you're worried; it was given to me.
'Tis not so shocking, I've found... No, but you are now another name and face I know naught of, that I clearly should.
So many relationships, so many friends and students I've made and met, and I cannot recall a single one of you. [For indeed, if she didn't steal that stone, then there was only one person she could have gotten it from.]
... I've my work cut out for me, and to think I thought I might find myself with nothing to do here! [Upset? Him? Oh no, no it's the opposite, he's already excited.]
[She was expecting the worst. After all, someone did outright say that she wasn't who she thought she was and it stings. Sure she was expecting questioning but that was...different. And here is one of her teachers saying while he didn't know who she was but also that a lot of others did as well...and he's not worried.]

[She follows suit and pops one into her mouth, making a satisfied hum as means of approving this particular treat. These are pretty good!]
I do use magic in my combat style if you are curious.

And what of the stone in your pockets? ... I know the shape of the red mages job stone like the back of my hand, I could draw it with my eyes closed.
[The tone wasn't accusatory, not really. Though he was pressing, wanting for an answer, that much was clear.]
