       ❝       so ... you’re a chef yourself ?        ❞        it’s obvious that there’s some hesitance in arven’s voice as he speaks out to kofu ; his ‘little buddy’ had pointed him in the direction of port marinada, somewhere he could potentially get even better ingredients for his sandwiches alongside the mystical herbs for mabosstiff. of course, he hadn’t expected to run into cascarrafa’s critically acclaimed chef himself on this day, &&. his time waiting for the man to be free of bidding for the day is spent awkwardly glancing over now &&. then from the sidelines. once it seemed as though he was done for the day, arven took his chance to speak, heart racing a million miles a minute within his chest.

“Here we see two people with excellent taste! Especially Kofu’s one sounds absolutely perfect and delicious! Tulip, I definitely recommend adding some marshmallows! They are so good! Regardless, both of you get a 10/10.”

@surgingchef​ asked: “why do ye 'ave that look on yer face?”

⚡⚡ RANDOM DIALOGUE - o p e n

“ Oopsie! Was I staring for too long? My bad! ” It’s a habit of hers; starring intensely at something or someone as visuals and ideas fly by her headspace. That’d look great in this lighting! She would look so good with this filter on. Maybe that’d look good with sepia tones? Wonder how my fans would react to that?

But this time it was over Kofu’s delicious looking food. 

“ Wait, wait, dont give it out yet-! ” That was the queue for her rotom phone to fly from her pocket to take a flurry of photos before going back to her hand. “ This is going to get CRAZY amounts of numbers on Instagranbull!! Lemme tag you as my bestie ofcourse- ”

    ... Wait a second. She stops her flurry of editing to look at him puzzled. 

"Now that's a good question. You both have large builds and wonderful beards, I think you'd win though!"

"Heeey Mr. Kof-uuuuph!" Dendra greets brightly, her eyes widening with surprise when the prodigious Gym Leader from Cascarrafa scoops her up in an airtight embrace, her feet momentarily leaving the ground as her foodie friend squeezes the breath from her lungs.

"Great...great to see you too, chef--!" the instructor gasps as Kofu gently puts her down with that booming, oh-so-contagious laugh. He doesn't notice the jaunty grin that lights up Dendra's features upon her release, nor does he even realize that she's rolling up the sleeves of her tracksuit and taking a deep breath...

"...Yes, always good to see you, but is that all you've got today? Osu!"

With a final inhale, Dendra wraps her arms around Kofu...and it's the Gym Leader's turn to gasp as the smaller athlete--her sparkling eyes narrowed with focus--hoists him a few inches in the air. "This is my strength!" the Battle Studies guru groans, even managing to spin Kofu around before setting him back down, half-huffing, half-laughing as she peers up at him again.

it was hard enough for him to admit that it was good, but to ask for more? no. he'll just keep his mouth shut. at least he wasn't about to be direct about it.

his hand still provided a perfect barrier between the gym leaders from seeing the unruly expression likely plastered across his lips highly unfitting of the (at times) frosty gym leader.

@voltagedoubler​ asked: 009.   bear hug . from kofu at @surgingchef​

SOFT TOUCH - open

“ Kofu, Kofu I’m fine. Honestly I’m just- ” yeep! ..Well alright, maybe he knew her moods better then she can hide them. It’s been a rough few days...weeks...maybe some more. Geeta would sooner flatline then have the people she’s suppose to be taking care of worry about her instead. 

Granted she isn’t use to physical affection as much as she honestly needed and craved it. She had squeaked on contact; stiff with surprise until finally letting go to sink into his hold.
