FINALLY

[ Cain, all things considered, seems absorbed in what he's doing over that pot. Hair tied back in a bun, apron on, tongs in hand. He might even be humming lightly!

But he notices the footsteps that enter, tracks them, and even throws a grin over his shoulder in that general direction when asked. ]


Beef with broccoli!

[ To demonstrate, he plucks the whole head of the broccoli out from the boiling oil. It's...battered and everything.

He puts it back in. ]


You want some? I'm probably gonna make too much.

[ Good thing he's not human, then! ...More importantly, he's just weird. ]

Nah. I just tend to eat a lot, so I make a lot, too! So whaddya say?

[ He plucks a battered piece of beef from the pot and puts it on the plate next to him. Sabo will be treat to the sight of other pieces of broccoli and slices of beef that have also been similarly battered and fried. Like...tempura... ]

Or if you don't like beef or broccoli, I can throw anything else you want in the pot!

[ wdym he doesn't like cain's concoctions—

Either way, Cain can't see the expression on Sabo's face, so he takes everything he says at face value. When Sabo laughs, so does he. Two of them! ]


The adjustment's been that hard, huh? I don't blame you. It's been kind of a shock.

[ More meat in the pot. Sizz... ]

Still, you can take what you like. If you need help working up an appetite, you should come work out with me sometime!

[ Cain will nod at that. Ain't that the truth. The moon might've taken his eyesight away but now he's starting to wonder if this is weirder.

Anyway, once he decides his food is cooking well, he'll steal a glance at the plate to see if any is gone, then toss a grin in Sabo's general direction. ]


The place isn't as big as I'd like it to be, but a jog around the gardens, then strength stuff like push ups, sit ups. Usually I'd work in sword drills, too. But I'm also thinking pool to cool off.

[ Hand on his hip, proud! ]

Whatcha think?

[ wdym isn't deep frying the best way to cook everything, ]

Hey, a staff! That's cool! If I'd had my sword I would've taken you up on a spar regardless. But I don't—maybe you could teach me a thing or two instead.

[ He holds out a fist in Sabo's direction. For a fist bump, obviously. ]

I'm Cain, by the way.

[ HELP????

Cain's eyes finally find Sabo, and he grins. Though the contact doesn't last long, because he's busy deep frying. ]


Not a problem! I used to be knight captain, and the guy teaching me magic's the most powerful wizard in the world. I can take it. [ He grins again, proudly pulling up a nicely battered bit of beef. Mm mm! ] Tough instruction makes me work harder.

[ ur probably right...

Cain can't help but match Sabo's grin. It would have been super cool if he could use his magic when he was captain. Storybook stuff. Reality isn't so kind.

No time to elaborate though, because Sabo takes him up on his request and he can't help but chuckle triumphantly. ]


Yes! That's what I like to hear. I'll make sure to impress you!

[ With his food, too! ]

What else do you do, Sabo? With your staff and without.

[ That draws a laugh out of Cain, too. Maybe Sabo will be reminded of the food when he pulls out a perfectly golden brown head of broccoli and places it on his plate of abominations. ]

Up to no good?

[ He'll playfully elbow Sabo with a little grin. ]

Uh oh. Like what?
