( The smack seems to at least get him out of his own head, or at least Bakugo's physicality is something Vash is used to. He still makes a soft noise, an abortive little sound, because he's just constantly putting his foot in things. But it's okay, they're fine. )

Okay, I'll remember that from now on. Switch up what I give people.

( Because he does it a lot, and so far nobody's said anything so he thinks he's okay but what if the next person isn't as understanding as Bakugo. Or would take the booze as is when it's against the law. ) Okay, so cooking. It's good for cooking. I can't imagine telling people that back home, but I guess maybe they do it in the big cities too?

( In the towns he frequents, resources remain scarce. He can't imagine anyone being wasteful of something that pulls them from their heads. )

Do you do a lot of cooking, Bakugo?
