I've had a few jobs.

[Not sure exactly what this guy knows. And what he needs to know.]

I was a chef back home.

[Which makes that the easiest job to explain to people.]

You?

[bon_bon]

Chef? [ That's a bit unexpected. Maybe he thought he was a warrior, given the way he spoke about protecting people and so on. ]

I was ... [ is there ever a simple way to describe his occupation? ] in administration. [ He probably looks like it too, given how slender and un-weathered he is. ]

[kissthegoddamncook]

[He nods. That's about all anyone's really getting out of him right now at least.]

Yeah? How's that? [He knows a number of people like that. Though, they are also fighters in their own rights.]

[bon_bon]

Deathly boring, [ he says quite bluntly. Nothing could be closer to the truth than that. And yet, it's not like he absolutely hated it, either. There was a routine to it. ]

Someone has to do it.

[kissthegoddamncook]

That's true.

[He looks at Konzen for a moment.]

What'd you rather be doing instead of that anyways?

[bon_bon]

[ That was a good question. Truthfully, he'd never asked himself such a thing before Goku. He falls silent, thoughtful. ]

It never occurred to me that there was something I could do. But I guess it's different, here.

[kissthegoddamncook]

There's something everyone can do. Just because you were stuck doing administrative work back home means jackshit here if there's none of it to do.

[And as far as he knows, there's absolutely none of it to do here.]

Want to learn a skill? I'll teach you to cook.

[ True enough; there's no admin work here, as far as Konzen knows. Though he still finds himself working around paper and stamps at the shop. (So he finds the smell of paper and ink comforting, okay?)

He blinks with some surprise at the man's question. It seems like such a random suggestion to a stranger, but Konzen's never been offered such a thing before. ]

Cook?
