[ Xichen is not exactly allowed to cook, beyond tea and boiling rice, but he can chop and slice and dice with ease, hence he is in the kitchen to help.
And... for the first time since he has been on the train, he has his forehead ribbon on. Since he finally has it. Even with the orange hoodie - he sometimes wears what his roommate weaves, but he is afraid she may be overworked so sometimes changes to the assigned clothes - it makes him look slightly more like himself.
Of course, he is (again) almost as pale as the ribbon.
Still, he is there, rather than avoiding almost anyone in his cabin. Or avoiding Meng Yao in particular. ]
That is a kind offer.
[ Not surprised or questioning him, merely commenting on a fact. As he helps. ]
