Honestly, I can't think of anyone more qualified than you.
[Every superhero needs someone to support them from the sidelines. This, Stefan knows well. He's lost count of how often he mended clothes or packed lunches or kept his Phantom safe - and that was all in a big brother capacity, rather than being an actual legal guardian.]
[Teasingly:] Especially if you can make souffle. Were you holding out on me, Mr. Jarvis?
[But he appreciates what he's said; it gives him some hope, that he's doing something right. He still doesn't fancy himself in the same league as a hero or super soldier, but it's... something. He can provide nourishment, and that is something. It certainly is.]
Finding the right ingredients here takes a little too much time, if you ask me.
[For offering his help or for accepting Stefan, fangs and all? He's not sure, but it's probably a combination of the two as he picks up his mug again and holds it up in a silent toast. To good coworkers and hopefully even better friends.]

[He shakes his head fondly, almost as if he were chiding Atroma for their poor life choices.]
If you ever do, my kitchens - both of them - are always open.

Dare I say, you're the nicest vampire I've ever met.
[And the only one, which is why he's teasing it now.]
But likewise — if you need anything at all, do feel free to message me.
I would be ready to assist at a moment's notice, Mr. Salvatore.

But he offers a smile in return, toasting right back.
See now, no murderous vampires in this ship.
Life is good.]
