With strange hauntings and trouble everywhere over the course of the last two 'days', Eliot avoided moving too far from his dorm except only to retrieve bare necessities. But two days in, a full week if he was on regular time, he had enough of canned salt and preservatives to take up a his hell may care attitude and went to get real food. He set out early morning and managed to get to his, he considered the place partially his anyway, greenhouse unmolested.

The same thing couldn't be said when he took the fresh vegetables and gathered eggs to the kitchen. The first thing he heard was shouting, loud shocked noises, and a roar of flames. "Shit!!"

Running in to find that beautiful stove top bursting in open fire, Eliot grabbed the nearest pot cover, a natural action given how familiar he became with this kitchen, and tried to smother it by throwing it on top.

It went out. Relieved enough, he didn't look to see the cause before rounding on the kid with an annoyed growl. "What do you think you're doin'?! Could've burnt the whole place

"It depends on what supplies are on hand and what else we're having. For breakfast, too, keeping things simple is a good idea."

Gau stepped aside to get some oil and a new pan, and then glanced back and reached for a cutting board as well. The knife was the tricky part - he wasn't sure if the ghost would have the same reaction to him that it had to the other man or not - but he took a deep breath and then reached for one.

Nothing happened. For whatever reason, apparently, Gau was allowed to cook?

He shrugged his shoulders and got to work.

"For breakfast, I'd usually just use a little oil, some pepper, maybe soy sauce and mirin, depending on the flavor of whatever else I was making. Of course, I would usually make fish for breakfast as well, but I was going for simple this morning for myself and Raikou-san."

Too simple, for himself, as he'd gotten chastised.

"Like I said, you're welcome to anythin' I brought," Eliot reminded again. Since he wasn't the one cooking, he won't be making extra portions for the others and there was more than enough food for the three of them here.

"The place is pretty well stocked," he said as he moved around behind Gau, getting the equipment out as needed since he was the more familiar one with the kitchen. For some reason, as long as he didn't have the intention to cook, it appeared that the ghost was alright to let him roam about.

"Soya sauce is this way... and mirin's kept below the cupboard there." Several cooking wines were placed beside it as well. "What else ya need?"

"Just oil and pepper. It's nice to keep things simple, really. Especially when you're making multiple dishes, and it's not for a fancy meal of some type..."

Gau shakes his head a little.

"That's what my mother used to say anyway. Making things pretty is a big part of how we cook, of course, but a lot of that is presentation, not making the dishes themselves complicated. It's all about how you cut things and display them properly..."

He's getting the vegetables set up to cut as he speaks, movements confident and calm.
