Ah—
[He feels the tug, and he nods to signal he understood the message before moving forward accordingly.]
From here, I should be able to handle myself... [as... proven many times already, right] I can't ask to trouble you any further than that.

You haven't been blind since birth, so it's expected that you wouldn't be used to this. It's alright to ask for help!
[Yeah, Gau doesn't buy that either.]
It's not just that you've done a lot for me already... I also want to help you, Tsubaki-san.
[He's leading them to the kitchen- He figures that Tsubaki hasn't been able to cook by or for himself. Gau making a few already prepared meals to put into the fridge may make his life a little easier.]

[Well... If he's going to put it that way, Tsubaki really can't object. He smiles a bit, remembering the time that he learned this lesson well.]
Thank you. I really do think I can handle myself, but if I have any difficulties, I'll be sure to let you know. Thank you.

I'm glad you came to that conclusion! Now, I'll make things easier for you!
[Which means putting his skills in cooking to the use, something which Gau is more than happy to do.
...This may mean that Gau is a bit overeager, which in turn means he practically yanks Tsubaki into the kitchen by the hand instead of by the arm in order to be able to carry as many things as possible at once and make this as efficient as possible.]

[He doesn't have to see it to recognize Gau's eagerness, and for now, he can't do anything but move as directed. Right now, he isn't sure at all where he is or what Gau's intentions are. But for that, he'll just have to wait and see.]
If there's anything I can help with, let me know. I might just be a hindrance, but I'd still like to do what I can.

That's precisely why I'm choosing to make this!
[There will be an explanation, apparently...?
When they're right at the kitchen counter, Gau pulls Tsubaki's hand up and places it on the counter surface, giving him a way to ground and stabilize himself.
With that, he quickly begins the search for the rice cooker. Right, but he does need to ask something-]
What's your favorite filling for onigiri?

Eh—? Ah, let's see... There isn't really anything in particular...
[He's fairly certain, however, that that is a disappointing answer, and so he considers it more thoroughly.]
Salmon, perhaps?
[He's fairly certain, however, that that is a disappointing answer, and so he considers it more thoroughly.]
Salmon, perhaps?
Then that's what we'll make!
[It helps he's a fan of salmon. BUT ANYWAY-
He plunks the located rice cooker on the counter after filling it up with water to the appropriate level.]
I figured this was something you could help with while you are blind, and we can make enough so that you have readily made food available to you when you need it!
[Something important is missing.]
Where do you keep your rice?

[He has to smile, just hearing how much consideration Gau puts into everything he does. When prompted for the rice, he looks around (rather uselessly, one might add) and points a finger.]
It should be right over there!
[In a... potted plant? Tsubaki, just use words, you idiot.]

Ah—
[Well, he tried.]
Er, yes. Sorry. I thought that I had gotten my bearings by now.

That's alright. It takes a while to get used to knowing where you are by touch alone!
[And he found the rice now, so he couldn't be too mad anyway.]
When I was blind, I went into Togami-san's room thinking it was the kitchen! He was very rude about it!
[NOT THAT HE'S HAS A GRUDGE OR ANYTHING.]

. . .
[He doesn't live alone, either. What if he accidentally wanders into Chibiusa's room unannounced?? Or there could be worse accidents...]
Er... Perhaps I should consider staying with you for the duration, after all.

Chibiusa is a girl. Normally, I'm careful to respect her boundaries, but...
[Like this, accidents... would probably happen.]

[He's about to interject something about that first statement. It's true, there was someone here before who was probably supposed to be her husband, as far as the standards seem to go for Holly Heights. But he doesn't want any strange rumors floating around! But sooner than he realizes, the accusation(?) seems to fall on him. Judging by Gau's expression, there must be some sort of negative implication to what Tsubaki had been suggesting, but he isn't able to make the connection at all.]
Um, I don't think so. To start with, I'm not even sure what that means.

...!
[Not even a hint of defensiveness in that statement, only confusion. If he was a nefarious lolicon and Gau totally wasn't jumping to conclusions, then he would have at least tried to relfect the question.
Looks like he's totally innocent.]
I-It isn't anything you should be worried about, then!
[KEEPS POURING RICE UNTIL PROBABLY ALMOST OVERFLOWING.]

[You keep pouring that rice; he can't stop you bro :(]
If you're sure about that...
[He might be a little concerned, though... Maybe he'll have to look it up once he can see again.]

--Gah!
[And on cue, he noticed that he had poured enough rice to cook for a family of ten.
As he scoops some of it back into the bag-]
I'm very sure, Tsubaki-san! It's just slang! It's absolutely nothing you need to worry about or look into! I made a mistake, and I apologize for that!
[who's defensive now]

That's fine if you made a mistake, but I feel that I should take the time to become familiar with some more slang. I never saw its value before, but it might help to become more aware of the world around me.

[says the blind person]
I-I'm not planning on using it!
I just thought I might not be able to intervene should I hear something uncouth if I'm not aware of its meaning.
