Cale Cooking!
So, this a canon I have always imagined. It’s mentioned in the TCF that Cale knows how to cook Korean food from his Kim Rok Soo days. But I imagine Cale to be an excellent cook because he always undermines himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not always that Beacrox is ill but even he fell ill after the strenuous fighting season was over. The children wished to cook something for him and were creating a mess in the kitchen, so Cale decided to shoo them out and take over the cooking while Rosalyn and CH cleans the mess and Ron runs an errand in the village.
So, Cale decides to take matters into his own hands.
Cale: Enough! All children out of the kitchen, now.
Roan: Human NOOOOOO!
Hong: Yess we want to cook Beacrox Uncle!!!
On: We would really love to give him something homemade.
Cale sighs.
Cale: Okay I will cook, and you all will help when I tell you too.
Cale got to work, he thought that a quick soup with some fresh bread and some hot coco would be enough. So he got to work, he kneaded the bread out of the left-over flour. He asked Roan and Hong to slowly control the heat around the melting chocolate, Choi Han to cut the vegetables and meat, Rosalyn to pre heat the oven with magic and On to get run to the underground house and bring some spice they got from the east.
Over the course of the next 1 hour he collected all the food in enough quantities to fulfill the small town they house at here at the Black Castle. The loaves were baking, soup was simmering, the hot coco was being filled in glasses for everyone's easy access.
Eventually he prepared one plate with all the food and told the children to give it to Beacrox.
Roan: You are not coming with us Human?
Cale: No, I don’t want to get catch whatever bug he has.
He then turned and left the kitchen. But everyone knew that despite that rude response how carefully he has made each item.
When Ron tasted the food, he knew instantly it wasn’t someone who has cooked for the first time. But the food was so healing, the rich but light taste of soup, the airy and slightly sour bread and the subtly sweet hot coco, that he didn’t question it much. He never knew his tiger young master could cook so well.
But the fact brings him peace that when he is gone and someone forgets to feed his Young Master, he can cook for himself.
The Children enjoyed the food so much that they ran again and again to the kitchen to sneak multiple helpings even late after dinner was over. Choi Han was almost nostalgic for a second remembering the young, malnourished Kim Rok Soo.
Cale after years of eating just enough actually ate more than necessary for once, enjoying the taste of his own food after years and getting a little lost in olden days.
