Genis snorts a little bit at his first joke. Yeah, it's not enough to make him laugh out loud, but at least there's a little appreciation at Solomon's sense of humour. It wasn't something that came out all that frequently. "Sounds vaguely kind of like the magic that Raine warned me about in Bakura. Funny how she didn't warn me about any of your magic." Yeah, there's a smug lilt to the end of that little bit. Genis means nothing too untoward about it, though of course he is suspecting Raine a little bit of bias.

With the knife, the comment does earn a minor freakout from Genis until he finally catches the joking nature of it. "Well, unless you want to eat a very limited set of things... or have Raine cook for you, I figure you're going to need to use a knife if you want to learn how to cook. Besides, the only threat here is to yourself. I figure if you go mass murderer on me, I've at least got the advantage over your aim." Smug grin again.

"Just try not to cut yourself though. I'll let you know if you're cutting things too thinly or too thickly."
