When somebody denies being hungry, there really isn't any good way to suggest that no, really, eating would be a healthsome and beneficial thing right now. And force-feeding lacks a certain...you know. Tact.

"'Cause this one's been making tiny baby snores for almost forty-five minutes," a small, fond nod to Naomi, "which is sickeningly adorable and yet kind of means I think she'll be okay without me for a little bit. So I was gonna go ahead and make some eggs or something. If you're sure you don't want any..."
He lets the sentence hang there, hopeful.
And then picks it up again with a wry, "I know me offering to cook is not the most exciting of incentives."
