Josh kept a hold of Akira’s hand while looking over at Sangre, walking over while waiting for an answer.
While he was rushing to get things ready, the chef paused and looked at Akira and Josh, taking a few seconds to look like a startled deer before nodding his head and taking a deep breath.
“Yeah, I’d appreciate it.” Smiling softly, Sangre kissed the top of Harumi’s head as she waved and began to head back to the greenery, bowing her head at Josh and Akira with a smile on her face before leaving the kitchen and leaving the three men to cook.
“I thought it would be a good idea to make a nice warm soup because of Akira’s throat recently, this might help soothe it.” Sangre took out a bunch of vegetables. Onions, carrots, leeks, and potatoes, as well as a little bit of thing rice noodles. Taking out chicken and vegetable broth, Sangre looked at Akira and Josh while prepping the broth in a pot.
“If you two could just cut those vegetables up for me, I’d really appreciate it. Just into cubes is fine.” he smiled lightly, trusting that Akira wouldn’t be injured if Josh was close.
Nodding his head, Josh went to the counter, putting the vegetables in the sink to wash them off before placing them on a cutting board, taking another one out for Akira so he could cut as well. “You know how to cut vegetables?” he wondered, unaware if he ever did it with Sangre before, or if it was the first time he'd try.
