[He nods, giving her hand the slightest squeeze of what he hopes will come across as reassurance, because he doesn't really know how else to handle this.]
Yes, lets.
[He just hopes that his stomach won't betray him by growling before they actually make it to the kitchen...]
Perhaps notably, Sunrise opts to take the stairs rather than wait for the creaky elevator in the dorm, apparently thinking it's faster. Once they reach the kitchen, she finally lets go of Richard's hand to open one of the kitchen cupboards and pull out a box of curry roux.
...Please hold, she's reading the instructions on the back of the box... ]
[Richard is still getting used to the idea of foods coming out of things like boxes and cans and containers, even though he's been living mostly off the instant ramen. How does one put curry in a box???]
You're going to make curry from that?
[But where are the spices? He may not know much about cooking, but he does know that curry requires a number of spices.]
[He knows he knows next to nothing about cooking, but this is really making him feel inept on that front.]
And then you put that in with the meat and vegetables? That doesn't seem too complicated.
[That may be him subtly offering to attempt to help. "Attempt" being the key word here, because what is cooking experience? Richard sure does not have any.]
[Oh. Well. That's something he hopes that even he can manage, at least! How hard can it be to cut vegetables into pieces? Things said ten seconds before disaster]
Of course. Carrots, potatoes, and onion, right?
[He at least knows what sorts of vegetables usually go into curry, even if it isn't something he's had the opportunity to eat often. Such a thing was considered too common to be part of the average diet of the royalty...]

These blocks are made of curry powder and other spices. [ ...Though this being Sunrise, she's going to add more of her own while she's cooking. ]

[ It does not occur to Sunrise that Richard is trying to offer to help. She just goes over to the fridge to take out the ingredients. ]

[Okay, maybe he needs to stop beating around the bush here and just be direct. He's expecting a "no," but it never hurts to ask.]
no subject
I would not mind. Can you cut the vegetables?

[ She'll be taking out the pot from the cupboard and filling it with water from the sink. ]
