Ticoga can't help but smile at all the odd faces and personalities that came out of the wood work at the mere promise of food and drink. In fact, this was the first time since his military career began three decades ago that he;d been in such... colorful company. And for only one of them to be a Saiyan seemed almost comical.
"On second thought, I have a better idea." Ticoga says, clapping once to get the group's attention on him. "Let's call this a friendly first encounter - and I can do better than simply pay for meals."
Ticoga smiles broadly.
"Let us find a more appropriately sized eatery - and I shall cook for you all!" he says, looking rather proud of the opportunity. And, indeed, he is. Seldom did such chances come, and any time Ticoga could flex his culinary skills, he did so. "Come, I promise that you will not be disappointed!"
With that, Ticoga walks away from the food stall and back into the street. He locates a restaurant fairly swiftly, and pays the owners to vacate the building for a private group. A set of tables are pushed together, and all those present would find themselves seated at a long table.
Ticoga had utterly taken control of the kitchens, and utilized both his prehensile tail and telekinetic power to move foods and spices as he cooks. Half an hour would pass, but the wait would be worth it. Imported foods and local dishes filled the table to near bursting. Crisp breads slathered with honey and butter, aquatic creatures grilled to flaking perfection, as well as a number of barely identifiable dishes unique to Arcose had also been provided, and smelled with a sweet aroma.
Plates with thick legs of meat and each lathered in various kinds of sauces and spices, juices in pitchers that stood proudly within reach of the guests -- Ticoga had provided a veritable feast for these people he'd never met before.
"I could not account for everyone's nutritional needs or likes, so I just went and made everything I know how to cook." Ticoga says as several more plates of sweet looking cakes float past him and settle on the table where space allowed them. "I hope everyone finds something to their enjoyment."
Cooking, besides his military career, was a point of pride for this particular Arcosian.
