He had discovered that he no longer needed to eat, but he enjoyed it just like he enjoyed lying in the sun, so he still ate most of the time. If he was around other people, it had the advantage of making him seem less strange. It was also part of being human, and so he tried to hold on to that. As a result, he got very good at cooking. He had also gotten better over the years at pretending among other people that he was just human. He was quite good at it now, for short periods of time anyway. Gradually, over the years, he had discovered a number of things. For example, he no longer needed to breath, and could stay under water indefinitely. He had discovered that by accident when he had fallen into a river and the turbulent water had disoriented him, and he had panicked thinking that he would drown. When he hadn't, he had experimented and had so far found no limit, to how long he could go without breathing. When he tried to do something new with his abilities, he still felt as if his mind was reaching out to something, but he still had no idea what.
