I've been... good, I kept myself busy, making things, getting ready for Christmas... Cooking. Oh, um how has that been? Have I been making things you like? W-when I heard about your leg I didn't know what to do because coming over wouldn't help you but... I didn't want to act like it didn't mean anything to me... Leader and Kitty suggested I cook food to send to you... since cooking with a broken leg might be hard.

[He looked somewhat worried, and really he was a bit anxious. He wanted to know that what he had been sending for his brother was good food for him.]
