[Link feels...lucky, that he met Allen the way he did, even if the circumstances have been less than ideal.

Not bribery. Just consider it a little incentive, mm? The more you learn, the more I get to use you as my taste-tester for all of my new recipes. Doesn't that sound fair?
I just think that I was very hands-on with learning stuff, is all. Paperwork and memorizing stuff is... harder, I think? I'm not good at it. I know there's really not a better way to learn literacy, though.

I will, don't worry.
Anyway, that's for later. Right now I want you to finish all of that so I don't have to throw anything away, okay?
[As if Allen has ever not cleaned his plate in his whole life.]
