[ He's just going to try to ignore the sniffling, as long as Akane's hands stay clean. they've got to wait for the butter to melt, though, so until then, he sets the wine and broth in front of her with the simple order: ]
Measure what we'll need for it.
[ And then keep an eye on the pot, so he can toss the onions in when it's ready. After a few moments, he'll finally answer. ]
[ The only answer she'll get to that is a roll of his eyes as Kara adds the onions to the pot. You could learn perfectly well from a book, if you tried. ]
It's only worth trying if you actually want to learn.
[ Kara actually isn't mad at her for that, but he's questioning whether she really wants to learn, or if it's just some kind of game to her.
...And yeah, he is a little annoyed at being forced into it, but. Frankly it's amazing he's gone this long without a lot of people forcing him to go along with their ideas. ]
Learning how to cook will still feed someone who didn't really want to learn, right?
[ Although in fairness to him, that same logic of hers does not carry over well to learning swords??? And also he's correct in assuming she's not very passionate about this. But! She does want to learn! ]
[ just one important note there. otherwise, no complaints.
but now that the onions are cooking - kara carefully removes them like the book says, and pours the wine akane measured into the pot instead. then he'll fetch the cheese, the grater, and set them in front of her. ]
We need... [ let him double-check, he doesn't know these measurements that well so he's trusting her with this. ] ...a cup.
[ well she at least seems to be enthusiastic, which is... good? probably? he doesn't know, but mitsutada would probably appreciate it.
anyway it looks like they've gotta wait for the wine to evaporate, so. now that everything's measured out, he doesn't offer any further instructions or conversation. sorry akane, he's bad at talking. ]
the usual response is, of course, that ookurikara isn't here to make friends. and frankly? he's not. but shess keeps getting on his case about this, so he's... trying. sort of. so. ]

I learned from my former master. Not books.

no subject
Date: 2019-06-19 11:35 pm (UTC)He was a great swordsman, who liked trying new things. And cooking for his subordinates.
...Why?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-20 12:15 am (UTC)[ jeeeez! ]
That sounds really impressive...! So what kind of subordinate were you? Like, a butler?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-20 12:34 am (UTC)I'm a swordsman.
[ he sounds irritated by the question. clearly the sword at his side should be answer enough! ]

Date: 2019-06-20 12:37 am (UTC)That's cool. Valvatorez-san tried to teach me to use a sword, but it's really hard.

Just like cooking.
