"It started as early as my childhood, to tell you the truth!" Chortled the jolly Bisharp as he went straight for the Gothitelle's order, happily and flashily cooking it away as he began to tell his journey of inspiration.
"Ever since I was a child I was enthralled not just by the taste of my mother's cooking talent, but how cooking could be so simple in some cases, yet particular and complex in others! It was like, ah, how do I say this... it was like watching chemistry, except this is chemistry you could eat! Sort of like that! She taught me as much as she could before I took charge of leading my own life, which was what spurred my desire to cook, to a NEED to do so. That was when I truly decided to become inspired and experiment with various dishes given what my new home's surroundings provided. The resources were different, so it was like a challenge! A fun challenge to see how new different ingredients worked!"
Takeshi broiled the steak and simmered it with light spices and sauces, tossing in some other ingredients as the stove made a soft hiss, all while Doki eyed the two men in fascination over their gear.
"Being limited in what I could do proved to be beneficial, especially when having new company come into your life! Bonus points if the company was as hard to please as my friend Athena. The fact that she was the one that made such a recommendation and realizing my potential as a cook was saying a LOT, let me tell you!" Takeshi remarked with excitement, grinning over how his skill managed to even reel in some compliments from such a grouchy Gallade. Soon enough, the meal for the Gothitelle was almost to completion, setting up the last touches as he approached the counter.
"Working as a chef for the Kirikuisine, a humble little food stand that specializes in exotic seafood as well as flavorful pastas and cheesy meat dishes at the Altiel Battle League of all places!” He chuckled heartily. “I don’t like to brag, but... I've never felt more proud of myself to work in such a grand establishment!" The green-eyed Bisharp beamed, almost as much as Doki did who admired the Scrafty's hood. Before letting himself get carried away, Takeshi finally set the food down for Haos, bowing afterwards as to allow the Gothitelle to take in the succulent sights and scent of the meat-based dish.
"I hope that answers all that, by the way!"
