[Goro Akechi is an honor student with plenty of his own business, Shinjiro decides when he catches that look. And stacks it up against everything else that's stood out, from the moment he walked over here and interrupted - being so uptight about deboning a fish clumsily? Honor Student With Hidden Depths, indeed, that Akechi-kun...
It's still not really any of Shinjiro's business. It isn't. It's not. But the part of him that always winds up sticking his neck out anyway is going to remember more than just a cordial and somewhat bumbling conversation with a stranger, intentions be damned. He'll have to remember Goro Akechi, after this cooking episode is through.
For now: boiling squid... Deadpan:] I'm not really into nature documentaries.
[Zing, that's his joke limit reached for the next month, good god. Fair enough point that TV preferences definitely don't matter here - even if he'd seen a TV around, which he has not, who knows what would be on it. He shrugs.]
Anyway, I've had worse lifelong regrets. [Which he'll skate over completely, to drop his gaze down to Akechi's fish there, hm!] For a novice, that's pretty good.
