Rosita has shared a lot with him, regarding the circumstances of her world, even if not a lot of it was about her directly. Jacob, on the other hand, has told her little about his own. He said he was from London, but his accent gives him away. She might have supposed from the clothes she's seen him in now and during their walk that he's from some time in the past, but nothing has been confirmed.
The truth is, he has always done this, scouted things out, sat and watched for hours, worked out patterns and routes, seen the movement of his target. He can bully his way through guards easily enough, not because of his size but because of skill. He doesn't do that as eagerly now as he did when he was younger.
Thankfully he doesn't have to batter his way in. He does get to wait and enjoy the smell, breathing it in. He doesn't often get home cooked meals, no one in Vrenille's house cooks and in London, they just picked up food when they needed it.
He didn't expect her to cook and that surprise is evident on his face as he greets her.
"If that's dinner, I think I need to thank you." He says stepping in, the box containing the cake he'd brought in his hands.
"I brought some dessert. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but it's good with tea."
