The fact that he is capable of gentleness is one of the greatest secrets his partners are expected to keep about him. It's truly lucky Yennefer doesn't work with him or his reputation would be in dire risk of being undone.
"My boss has to cut costs somewhere," Muldoon points out. "Our meals are well rounded, but nothing to write home about. The meat is always dry, the vegetables never fresh, and a bit of salt and pepper are the only spices involved. But I've had worse."
That offer gets a glance. "Don't tempt me with things like that. I won't ask you to make me richer or stronger with magic, but a properly cooked and flavoured leg of lamb might get me to break."
In the grand scheme of things he has relatively simple tastes, but decent meat is a weakness. There's nothing more painful to a hunter than seeing his hard work and an animal's life wasted by a poor cook. It's the one area he has standards, and the island's canteen staff are surely here to torment him with it.
