"Mh? What is this? An offering?" Hàosōng doesn't need to eat often, and whenever they do it's usually raw meat, freshly hunted. They don't know much about cooking aside from its cultural implications, and this... this is an oddity.

･ﾟ✧ oh no — two seconds in and it seems like he’s already gotten this god of thieves suspicious. honestly speaking though, it is just a plate of food. “ something like that? ” aether pipes up after haosong’s question, watching him eye the plate suspiciously - and suddenly, aether is second guessing hismelf. did he use the wrong ingredients? paimon hadn’t said anything about it, in fact her mouth was watering when he was packing up the plate so it couldn’t be that. maybe this one just doesn’t like this kind of food ...
“ well ... i was told that if i wanted to greet anyone in liyue, i should bring them an offering or .. some kind of gift. the only thing i’m really good at doing is cooking, so ... ” he gestures at the plate. “ that’s where this comes in. you don’t have to eat it if you don’t like it, though. just let me know if there’s something you like better. ”
