[If there's one thing Damian knows, more than anything, it's cooking. And when Hajie insinuated that Colin might actually be a better chef than him? He took Hajie up on her offer.
Too bad he didn't tell Colin until set-up for their mock competition was underway.]
Come on, it'll be fun! It's Iron Chef! But with bhaiya [His nickname for Sharif when he remembers to be nice and Farah and Hajie as judges! And Dad even agreed to give us a secret ingredient.
[... Dad doesn't remember agreeing to this. Not that Damian knows that at this point.]
[If it’s one thing that Colin does not know that well, it’s cooking. He likes to think he can make breads, he can make various things he is good at but most of that involves baking, not so much cooking the savory things in life or anything professional. Instructions, sure? He can handle that but a competition? Long story short--he was going to blame Hajie for any mistakes that might lead to a fire.]
I--don't know about this, I mean you’re a way better cook than I am if the secret ingredient is chick peas? I am so screwed.
[He wrinkled his nose as he looked around the kitchen.] Even more so if it’s like some kind of fish.
[Damian merely gives Colin a Look as he sets the last things on the counter for their Kitchen Royale.]
You're not "screwed". Think of it as like... a challenge! Just one dish in the kitchen that has to be made under thirty minutes.
[And just so Colin knows Damian's taking this as seriously as possible:] And I promise, if you go through with this? I won't complain about the next haunted house.
Alright, alright. [He sighed as he looked around the kitchen before turning his gaze to the other, arching an eyebrow.] You're on, but you can't complain--at all! Nothing.
[The things he does for Iron Chef! Damian makes a face before sullenly glancing back towards the living room.]
Whenever Dad remembers he's supposed to. Hang on...
[And so Damian scampers off to grab poor Dr. Razem and insist that he hand over the secret ingredient NOW. Said secret ingredient happens to be...
... Avocadoes.] Abbaji, that's not even legit! [Too bad, Dr. Razem's too amused by Damian's reaction to relent. He's caught on to his kids' shenanigans!!]

You have to even say you liked it.

[He sighs, resigning himself to his inevitable fate.] Fine. Win or lose, you're dragging me to the haunted house of your choice.

So when will the secret ingredient be given to us?

[Damian does not look happy as he comes back in with the box.] Hell if I know what he was thinking when he bought these.
