Annette lights up at the simple praise, and it's good to see her so pleased even with just a small compliment. She always tries very hard in everything that she does, and it's a commendable thing; Dedue sees no reason to withhold praise when it's due, just as he doesn't hesitate to draw attention to mistakes. To learn, one must know both what's being done that's right and that's wrong.
There's a tiny hint of an uptick at the corners of his lips after her little joke-- a suggestion of a smile. Annette has always been good company. It's good that the five years that they had all been apart hadn't changed her cheerful nature. Or her impatience, apparently, as she's poking that fish so much that you'd think she was trying to wake it up.
"Be careful that you do not overwork the fish."
Thankfully for her patience, or lack thereof, fish is a reasonably quick meat to cook, and it shouldn't take too long to finish up if she doesn't keep fidgeting with it.
