He watches the garlic demonstration for a beat, nodding at Ten once it's over. Got it. And then all his attention is on the princess.

"I've got a knife," he affirms, reaching out to slide a hand around Luka's hip and pull him a little closer. In the same moment, he steps away from the counter, and takes up a position behind him, setting hands on his shoulders and running them lightly down the other's arms. He takes his wrists, then his hands, bringing one over to where he set the knife.

"Grab it here, like this," he murmurs, getting Luka's fingers in the right spot to hold the knife stably before he reaches to his other side and brings the asparagus pile closer. "We have to finish this first."

Then he wraps his hand loosely over his, folding his fingers into something similar to the cat's paw Ten had used just a moment ago to demonstrate for him. Those fingers are set loosely on the latest orange stalk and then he brings their combined knife hand into place.

"Bring the knife down smoothly, with confidence. It will cut. Use the knuckles of your other hand as a guide. I'll make sure you don't get yourself," he explains softly, loosening his grip just slightly on Luka's hands so he can try out this cutting thing. Good luck princess.
