Having to fight day after day had driven Draum to the edge. It was an endless cycle of punch, rest, punch, rest, punch, rest, and the continuing loop of doing these over and over again started to run him ragged. On one hand, yes, it's the point of this game, fight to win; but on the other hand, if they were going to have to be in this game for as long as they would, he'd need to find peace in it rather than struggle against it.
As he walked around town his eye would catch glimpse of stalls with pots, pans, and the like, a quest popping up as he started to walk past explaining the basics of this cook off. It seemed like just the type of quest to keep him from going right back into punching things. With a nod and pump of his fist, he would accept the quest and start to look around for a partner.
Keeping an eye out for anyone that seemed just right for the job, he'd spot them not so far off. A familiar face coming into view, one that he had seen multiple times during raids but never really bothered to talk to, an older looking character with the username Meatpie.
Approaching her from behind he'd clear his throat, tapping her shoulder as he'd begin to speak.
"Hello! I'm looking for a partner to do this quest with, think you can help me cook?"
He'd keep a slight smile on his face as he spoke, awaiting her answer as he opened the party menu, already expecting her to accept the offer.
Get out of the way or go down like the rest.

[attr="class","fitz"] Lost in her own thoughts, she was looking at the area around her, all the beautiful food. A tap on her shoulder made the woman turn around, tilting her head in curiosity. ''Oh! Well of course dearie, I would be glad to help!'' she responded. It didn't even take half a second to consider the boy's offer - she just took it. Someone approached her for help and that made her very happy. Her face beamed, even as she laid eyes on the child before her. A boy, and quite handsome at that. He must be one that gets all the dates, and that just makes her want to smile even more. After all, watching the children in love is even more precious then just watching the children. Not that just watching them wasn't precious, but love was truly one of the most important things. ''Luckily for you, dearie, I know quite well how to cook!'' she said, before a ping made her twist her head. Blinking, she frowned, before doing her little shortcut. She couldn't quite get how to work the menu, but this way worked better for her in the long run anyways! The little acceptance chime rang, and she nodded, turning to the boy once again. ''Now, where shall we go to complete this quest?'' she asked. Oh, she so wanted to scoop up the lad, but that would wait until they reached the right place - no sense in startling the poor thing now of course. That could happen much later.

After sending the party invite, he’d listen to the woman intently with a smile, growing brighte As spoke, she seemed nicer than he previously thought her to be. Honestly he didn't expect the niceness from the woman at all, he expected someone stranger, maybe pushy even. From prior knowledge all that he had previously seen from her was her eating things that shouldn't be eaten, he expected her to be a little more whacked out because if that. But that's the good thing about actually talking to people, you don't know anything about them unless you actually speak to them personally.
Realising that he had been smiling like an idiot this entire time, he’d put a hand over his mouth, wiping it away and replacing it with a lighter, more awkward one. He had to say something to save face so, tripping on his words as he begun to speak, he’d speak nonetheless.
“W-well, first we have to go to our stall, there should be one reserved for this quest. Then we figure out what we want to cook, since you’ll be the one in charge of cooking it, I’ll leave that part up to you. I feel like anything you pick will taste great, you have that kind of vibe about you. After that, we get the ingredients to cook with, we have to get those from within the village or the wild around the village, I could do that part, you’d just have to tell me what you need. Then the rest is just the presentation and the judges judging.”
Looking forward with a blank expression he’d mentally smack himself across the head, he could have just told her these things in little bullets but he went and ran his mouth. He wasn't usually one to talk much but for some reason this woman made him blab unnecessary information. He didn't know who he even was anymore. Get out of the way or go down like the rest.

[attr="class","fitz"] Well, that decided it for her. Her face lit up more then normal, and suddenly she scooped up the boy in her arms. He was so cute! She couldn't help but squeeze him, because he reminded her of one of her children. He had a little stutter at that start there, and was kind of rambling, and looked all awkward and shy and it just made the mother lion in her roar to life. So after squishing him for a minute, she gently let him go, having learned that people don't like being held too long in this game for some reason. She couldn't help herself, and beamed at the lad some more. ''What a thoughtful plan! So organized, it's perfect!'' she said, praising him. Clapping her hands together, she already had her mind in motion. ''Alright! Now I'm sure plenty of the people at the competition will do chef level meals of course. But that's not what we're going to do, oh no dearie.'' she said. Her eyes with alight with a flame, and that was the flame of a great idea. ''Instead, we're going to do a home cooked meal so good it's going to make them cry! After all, these poor dears must judge a lot of competitions. They do need a nice, homely meal instead of those bird like portions that chefs do. Oh, those poor dears!'' she said. Holding her hands to her chest, she let out a sad sigh. ''And so we will save them. It is our mission! Now, are you proficient at fighting, dearie? We're going to be a little daring with some of the ingredients.'' she said. Her full attention focused on him now. Of course, she could it all herself, but she did want to include the boy in the process. Some of her best memories are cooking with her children. Nothing quite beats making a good meal together, she found. She smiled at him, hoping her ideas are good enough for him, knowing she was flexible if he wanted to do something else. Oh, she should probably reassure him of that of course. ''But if you would rather cook something else, that I can do! So long as you agree and are happy with what we're doing.'' she said to him.

As he would brought in for a hug, unexpectedly one would add, he'd struggle a bit, until he was completely in her grasp. Usually he'd push away immediately, he hated being touched, by random people especially. But her touch was gentle, almost soothing in a way. And then she went and stacked compliments on top after letting him go, he honestly didn't know how to feel. So he stood stunned, staring at her with a conflicted look as she spoke further on.
Shaking his head as she went on about cooking something else, he'd look at her, the conflicted look turning into a slightly determined one. "No, what you said sounds fine, home cooked meals are the best and I'm certain what you make'll blow the judges away. I can fight so just tell me what you need and I'll get it."
He was ready to get away from her so he could gather his thoughts back into one place again, she was starting to take a toll on him, emotionally more than anything. Get out of the way or go down like the rest.

[attr="class","fitz"] Aw, this poor child. He seemed to struggle with her touch. So in her future, she was going to break him from such a habit. But for now, she would let it be, and concentrate on the quest. She smiled kindly at him, and tilted her head to the side thinking. ''Alright dearie! Now let's see... the best way to cook something would be something with meat... not a breakfast, but a brinner perhaps? Hmm, no no, not quite... ah! I know, a classic thing to do. Yes yes...'' she said, nodding to herself as she mumbled about meals she could make. Turning to the boy, she smiled. This would be quite an adventure for him, she knew that much. ''Alright dearie, this is going to be a little complex! Now, I need meat - pork, beef and chicken. After that, I need a variety of vegetables - carrots, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and anything else you might find. I need some fruits, any variety but preferably apple and berries. After that, rice, wheat and some potatoes are not remiss either.'' she said. And already, it sounded complex, but she had a method to her madness - it was a meal she cooked at home quite often, even as her eyes sparkled. Just remembering it made her happy honestly. ''After all, I'll need lots of eggs and water, along with firewood for the heat I'll need. Salt and spices are definitely good too. Now, I can grab some of these things in the town itself - however, the meat specifically needs to be hunted, and in high quality too. Do you think you can handle that dearie? Small bits at a time will definitely help.'' she said. Sure, it might be a long list, but it was a meal that was multi-layered, and often very much enjoyed with her kids. Considering she had a lot of them with different tastes, she had to make a meal they could all eat and a lot of it. Hence the list, as she waited for his answer, smiling.

Mentally jotting down everything she said as she said them, the brunette would calmly look to her. He'd usually ignore everything she said but given how nice she's been despite his expectations, he would hate to disappoint her.
He'd continue to take notes, repeating them back to himself in his head as he did so, until she mentioned that he needed to hunt. Honestly, he hoped he wouldn't have to do that part, the whole point or doing this quest was to stop punching for once, but, with his luck, that seemed impossible.
Rubbing the back of his head he'd sigh. "... I can do that, sure. I won't mind getting my hands dirty for you, miss, as long as its what you want, I'm happy to oblige." Smiling gently he'd equip a pair of shimmering dragon scaled gauntlets, the lowered leveled weapon probably being enough to handle wildlife.
He'd start to head off but would stop suddenly as he remembered his manners. Looking at her username he'd twist his lips a bit to the side then look to her, "Do you prefer to go by Meatpie or something else?" He'd stand to the side as he awaited her answer, ready to get a move on. Get out of the way or go down like the rest.

[attr="class","fitz"] And did he think she didn't notice that? ''Oh dearie, if you didn't want to fight, you just had to tell me you silly goose.'' she said. With a smooth motion, she was out of the stall, and next to him, gently pushing him into said booth. Her smile was gentle, and she had no problem doing the dirty work herself. ''Now now, I'm sure you know how to set up things to cook yes? You'll be able to find most of the vegetables and fruits in the city, that's for sure. Now, you'll need to watch them, peel them if necessary and then cut them up.'' she said. Of course, she had not forgotten his question, and so she would respond in a moment, making sure he did submit to going behind the stall and remain in town. ''Now, I don't mind Meatpie at all. Some have called me MP, and I always invite people to call me Mama Meatpie if they so wish. So however you wish to address me is perfectly fine.'' she said. Her voice was soft, and reassuring, even as she smiled. ''Now, I will trust you to handle the stuff you can get in town alright? What I'm planning is something slightly complex for most, but I've done plenty of times! So don't worry, we'll make it through together.'' she added. With a final smile, the woman would just turn on her heel, and straight up leave. More or less, leaving him no choice but to handle their station and what they could get in the town, because there would not be enough time to do both parts with the list she had made. And she had seen he had not wanted to fight, so she had easily taken that responsibility from him, even if he protested.

Being pushed into the stall was one thing, but her saying she was going to do his job for him was another.
"Wait... miss, I..."
He would start to spurt out, but before he could even get out his words, she would begin explaining what he should do in the stall. With a defeated expression he'd purse his lip and just nod as she finished explaining the food needed as well as her name situation. MP sounded good to him.
After she had quickly excused herself, he felt like he should be mad, because on the list of things that get on his nerves, being touched and having his job done for him were at the top. But no matter how much he wanted to be angry, he wasn't. In fact, he was sort of relieved that she had read him so easily and took over what he didn't want to do himself.
He couldn't just sit back here though, he had to make mama proud and get in gear. Quickly exiting the stall, he would open his mini-map and start to sprint to any grocery stall he could.

[attr="class","fitz"] Poor dear, the woman knew he was uncomfortable to say the least. Damned either way, she just let him be. She was sure that taking the fighting responsibility was the better option, so she wasn't all that worried about it in the end. Some people didn't like certain things, and like an indulgent parent, she would just ignore his less then stellar behaviour, and move on. She had seen plenty of pouting folks in her life, one more wasn't going to bother her. But she was still kind and gentle, even as her steps would take her away from him. Hopefully he would get everything, but even if he didn't she could improvise. It was a necessity in her household you see, what with all of the children around. But her steps were light and easy as she made it out of the town without a problem. Although she didn't quite get the UI, she was sure that if he needed her, she would know. But for now, her gaze landed on a patch that was perfect. There were cows and chickens, and it would be easy to get. Walking up to the farmer, some coins changed hands. She had some of her meat, but the pork... wild boar would be best for that. The motherly player started to hum, even as she began to stalk her prey. There was a little content smile at the edge of her lips, because she knew they would succeed their little quest. She believed in him of course.
