*18; Accidental Video
[Light flooded the camera as it was just tunred on, Angeal stepping away from the view, revealing none other than Minato at the other side fo the kitchen, mixing ingredients together.] Alright Minato, I'm recording this so that later we can go back and see your progress. Cooking is nothing like fighting, but progress should still be recorded.
... Do we really have to record this? I mean, it's just a cake. [He laughs a little nervously.] A pretty simple recipe, too....
Of course we do. Weren't you listening? It's to see how far you've come. Now, make sure you get all the lumps of batter out. If that gets fired, the cake won't be right.
Yes, but... [Minato sighs and goes back to mixing the ingredients.] I'm wearing an apron.
So am I, [It was a white apron he wore.] and we don't have much to clean clothes with. So if you would rather go around covered in flour, be my guest.
... I guess I should just be glad it's not pink or something. [He goes back to stirring, then glances in the bowl after a short while.] ... Do you think this is ready to go into the oven?
That depends. Is it mixed together well enough? And is it in a pan? [Angeal's tone seemed to lighten to the snark of his comment.]
... Pan! It needs to be in a pan! [Minato laughs nervously again, looking sheepish.] I... knew that. And uh. It's mixed! ... Pan. [He starts searching for the one they were going to use, a bit flustered. It's right behind him.]
Minato. [He chuckles.]
[Minato stops what he is doing, putting down the bowl before turning slowly to grab the pan.] ... Right. What would I ever do without you, Angeal?
I’m not sure I could even fathom, Minato. Probably making someone suffer.
Ha. Ha. Very funny. [Minato pours the contents into the pan carefully, making sure everything gets in.] Although you're probably right.
You’ve gotten better. Don’t doubt yourself. You have been doing just fine. [he crosses his arms, watching carefully so that Minato doesn‘t miss a single step.]
"Just fine", huh? [Minato looks amused.] You don't have to sugarcoat it. [He puts the mixing bowl down, then picks up the pan.] So into the oven it goes?
Alright then, [Angeal chuckled.] no sugarcoating; you are excelling beyond expectations. The way you were, I thought it would have taken years to undo what you’ve picked up. But yes, the oven has been preheated and the cake is now ready to be baked.
[Minato laughs nervously.] I was that bad, huh? [he opens the oven, sliding the cake pan into it. Yeah, without an oven mitt, but he's just careful to not touch the metal. Either that, or he's stupid.]
[The tone was deadpan;] Minato, you burned rice to the point of beyond recognition.
............ Oh, yeah. [Minato closes the door, then straightens up.] I'd forgotten about that. [He goes over to lean back against the counter.] Let's hope that I don't burn this as badly, right?
I’m confident you won’t. [It‘s obvious by his tone that he‘s smiling at his apprentice.]
[Minato smiles back.] Good. I won't let you down, An--
[And almost too abruptly, the feed cut to snow after the oven door blasted open with a boom.]
[ooc; a-yep. Minato just blew up Sephiroth‘s kitchen making a cake. Imagine a kitchen covered in cake batter.]
