"Look into it the moment you leave this house," are the final words before she gets to cutting. Just to be sure she knows. He refuses to accept subpar nail care in his kitchen.
Still, he doesn't hound on her much after that. Instead, he says politely and carefully to the side in order to give her all the room she might need, just to be comfortable. With how they're all developing tails and wings (his wings more than his tail at present), that's all the more important to keep in mind. And he has to say he's quite impressed.
Of course she had shown considerable dexterity with her knives back at the party. Ignis had seen that with his own eyes; he doesn't doubt her skill in that arena. But just because someone is good at juggling a knife or doing fancy tricks doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be good at kitchen work.
It's a wonderful sign to see her catching on quickly here. "Excellently done," he praises. "Very clean cuts." While it's not the only important part to cooking, especially in a situation like this where they can't simply shove things into a modern oven or crockpot and call it a day, it's still nothing to sneeze at. "Those will fold in excellently for the recipe I had in mind for them. Would you like to practice on another one, just in case?"
