He keeps smiling and gives Prim a thumbs up. "You're in luck today. Stews take awhile, but there's one in the kitchen already, so we should be able to eat that. Is there anything you don't like?"

Because while he's in the kitchen, Chouji might as well see what else he can grab. Bread and cheese sounds like a good complement to the stew, and fruit isn't a bad follow-up, either.

Her name being shortened to 'Prim' rather than 'Rose' could strike Chouji as odd, given that he'd expect most girls to choose the flower. But it suits her. This is the first time he's associated the word with a reassuring calm rather than proper and almost prissy; he thinks the new association will stick, now that he's met Prim.
