Moira can see the gesture catches James off guard, and she finds herself oddly pleased that it does so. See, I can be nice, she wants to say, but she refrains. Even if they have to return to their less than pleasant current reality, Moira can at least ease the transition with a good breakfast.
She's even more strangely pleased when he accepts her offer, though she manages to contain the beginnings of a smile she thinks she feels growing on her face. The hell was in that milk? she thinks to herself, that she'd want to actually, sincerely smile at James Thornton?
"Fair enough. Breakfast should be ready when you get back," she replies as he makes his exit, immediately setting to work by grabbing the eggs and all the utensils she'll need. There's something cathartic about beating the egg yolks and the vegetables together; cooking like this gives her a chance to vent her pent up frustration at how she ended up in this situation to begin with.
