It wasn't about ability. No one else wanted to do it, you know— none of the staff in the palace or anything, though it was their jobs to watch us both. Sumi simply took charge on his own, and it became expected.
( It's a summarization, probably, considering the family of priests had a lot of other obligations and expectations surrounding him and his own family, but. Esikko seems to find it uncomfortable to speak about, despite his willingness to bring it up in the first place— he's frowning a little, trying to reform that flour bag-mouth on the side while Bakugo digs out his egg shells. For practice. It's proving difficult, and flour keeps puffing into his face. )
I know my health is poor, but some worries are excessive, anyway. He was just an overly serious stick in the mud.
[Saying "no one else wanted to" seems like a huge dramatization for such a thing. Esikko's a prince. Royal families are treated like the top of the world in most monarchies in any country. Unless there's rampant corruption and abuse, which he's pretty sure Esikko wasn't personally responsible for?
Bakugo finishes up with the meat after helping Esikko with the coating stage prep. Flour in one bowl (sorry about the white face makeup afterwards, here's a cloth to wipe it off), eggs in the other (he lets the prince beat them; surely he's able to do that without making a mess, right?), and seasoned panko crumbs in the last. Gonna have to get the oil hot, so he takes a brief break to set that up before returning to the meat slices.]
And he didn't let up when you told him to back off, huh.
