Who: Marik and Hunk
Where: Sevii Islands
When: Before Contest, After Marik becomes a breeder
Summary: The two celebrate the change in role, discuss business, and general news.
Rating: PG unless some hard histories get mentioned.
Log:

[This is bad news for Marik, to be honest. Because Hunk? Absolutely delighted to talk about the math related to breeding. And without Pidge here to ramble at, he needs the outlet. But it's also great- he's glad to help him out with the Cyclizar thing. And he wants his friends to have as much happiness and romantic luck as possible. Things seem to be going pretty well with Fluttershy (he's not been intrusive about it, but it just seems that way).]

[He'd been considering entering the contest, but when he saw that Allura was going to he decided he'd rather give her support. But he's still got a bunch of alien cutouts he made that will have nowhere to go except up as decorations. He doesn't want to throw them away, they're all related to planets that the Voltron crew visited and seem like nice reminders of past adventures.]

[Whenever Marik shows up at the Voltron house, he's in the middle of dumping the giant batch of leftover cardboard scraps in the recycling.]

Hey! I'll be good to go in a minute. Just need to clean this up before I ruin Shiro's day.

[Marik's hair is always a poofy mane so the Gyrados breathing in him barely does anything to really jostle it too out of place. The breath though. That'll take some getting used to.]

Those are those donut like things, right? I remember you telling me about them before.

[The blonde is more than happy to try whatever. As long as it's tasty, that's all that matters to him.

The closest thing he's found to a PokéEgypt is the Ruins of Alph. They're certainly kept in a similar, disappointing manner... and while yes, his upbringing was incredibly hard, he prides himself on keeping up the old ways and beliefs as much as he can.

There isn't much to his heritage left in the current world, after all.

With Hunk having taught him how to cook, Marik can now write more accurate recipes for him to try of the various dishes he remembers from home. It would be nice to share those meals with him someday, no matter who cooked it.

The Egyptian opts for a salmon and tofu bowl with all the available veggies and wasabi mayo.

He, of course, practically inhales it once their orders are served, tossing the occasional chopstick full to Chen and Oba. He might also forget to swallow before talking like he normally does when Hunk's given him good food.]


Ffiff ish rilly goohd!

[How someone can be so cultured and mature yet childish and naivé at the same time is one of the world's many mysteries of Marik Ishtar.]

We're definitely getting some then.

[Marik deals with the same thing but less on a reminded of home aspect and more of a "my big brother isn't around to do things for me anymore, now I have to do it myself."

Which really sucked at first and still kind of does. He tries very hard not to lean on his friends to fill that role because it wouldn't be fair to them.

The tomb keeper's half way done with his bowl when Hunk feeds Dragon Roll. Oba stares up at him and opens his mouth. In goes another chunk of salmon.]


Is that where you got your love of cooking from?

Patience, huh...

[What Hunk says makes sense. Waiting for food to cook does give you time to focus on other things.]

I wasn't so much impatient as... rebellious? I don't know how to describe it. I was told one thing, I'd want to do the opposite. So... huh... maybe I was still impatient and didn't realize it.

[Marik finishes his own bowl, giving the last few pieces to Chen and Oba before tossing his stuff out.]

Oh. Yeah! I've cooked some snacks for Shy but nothing serious yet... Maybe we can do that after the Contest?
