"I'm not sure if a chef professionally, but enough to know his way around a kitchen. He's been rather reticent to tell me too much about himself." In case the part where he's been silent longer than he's been talkative wasn't an indicator. "I suppose there isn't much that I can do to convince him otherwise for the time being..."
He'll figure it out, he supposes. As long as he has a name to address the dragon by, that's more than he had before.
For now, there's a different focus, and he observes her movements. As before, at the party, he can tell there's a good base to her grip. It's just... Well, the exact same as him, and he nods. "That was what I had to deal with as well," he tells her. "It was frustrating, especially with how used I am to chopping things quickly." Not safe to do that with an unsure grip! "However, from what my carry-on has told me, this is what he would do when he was in a hurry and could not change his hands in time for whatever reason or another..."
What those reasons could be is an utter mystery to Ignis. It doesn't really matter right now. Instead, taking one of his own kitchen knives, he holds it out to her with his palm up so that she can observe his fingers without anything being awkwardly in the way. It's not the normal way he's used to, but it's clearly a style that has been come up with to adjust for long claws.
"He has said that, at least with himself, the scales were adjusted specifically on his palms to help grip it, and I have at least found that similar for myself." He's just fortunate that claws and scales came in together on his hands.
