[Have a Gilbert! A Gilbert who looks utterly nervous and frightened like always when he's about to make some sort of public... anything. He takes a couple of deep breaths and finally starts

[You mentioned the bakery, so you get Elfangor's undivided attention. And the most distraught of looks, at the very suggestion of the bakery not being at peak shape.
Therefore, there is only one logical answer.]
I can help! That is, I will be working at Yuui and Fai's restaurant when they open, but in the meantime, and when I am off-shift there, I would be glad to assist with the creation of delicious baked goods.
[By now his distress has melted away under the thought of access to the bakery's kitchen. All that sugar, you know you want to let him at it.]
[Ack! No, not really! But help would always be nice... That and Gilbert is a little more trusting of people he had seen around before. So while he continues looking like a trapped animal, he also manages a bit of a smile.]
Ah, that -- that would be great. As long as you have time.
[Pausing. He's been saying that a lot today, but --]
Forgive me for asking, but how long have you been cooking?
[Not everyone is worthy to touch the creation of delicious baked goods! As much as he would appreciate decent help, yes.]
[That is... a complicated question. The most accurate answer would certainly be 'Ever since I came to possess a mouth,' but that might not go over so well. And he certainly cannot measure that in years, considering how thoroughly tangled up his timeline is. Hmm.]
I first learned to cook when I was a teenager.
[And since he is very clearly not a teenager, the duration of time is left implied. Take that as you will.
It may have only been three years, but they were three very devoted years. Because if you are going to be experiencing the human sense of taste, one should certainly endeavor to make the best-tasting foods possible.
Suddenly, inspiration! Have a smile.]
If you require evidence of my ability, I would be glad to bake something for your approval.
[Brownies, of course. Not magic ones, those are only for special occasions.]
[Gilbert seems pleased enough with the answer, but he positively lights up at the suggestion. Brilliant idea. After all, that's what he had done when he was trying out for a position in the bakery, too.]
T-that's a brilliant idea!
[Er, right. The time.]
When would you be able to come round? I-it's no rush, of course.
