Alakai had decided to stay out of the argument at first, but once Joan started to threaten with a fight, he had to put in his own two cents. "I don't think you want to fight Kali, Joan. As fighting her means fighting me. And I'm pretty sure the two of us can take you, or even the three of you if need be. One, because we're higher level. And two, because you don't have a healer. So please, sit down, stop the hostilities, and let's enjoy lunch okay?" Alakai was quite serious. If Joan planned to start a fight, he wouldn't like it, but he would kill all three of them if need be. Luckily Joan finally backed down, seeing how everyone was against him at this point.

"Besides, Kali, I want to eat food with flavour. Since we're eating together, it's hard to make something and not show them..." He then looked at Josie with a very serious expression. "I'll hold you to your word. I'd rather be on good than bad terms." Alakai wasn't going to make direct threats, as threats generally only made people more hostile. But if they did spill the secret to others they would very quickly realise how bad it would be for them to have him against them. He didn't know how he would get them back if that happened, but it wouldn't be pleasant to say the least.

"Anyway, I won't explain anything I do. Just allow you to watch. So you'll have to figure out the rest on your own." He then finally spoke as he started on cooking some of the fish they had gotten on their farming runs. The three looked on intently, though all of them seemed confused as to what was going on. Others couldn't see your inventory, profession and stat and skill screens unless you allowed them to, so they couldn't see that Alakai wasn't using his crafting skill to do the cooking. It was actually a bit amusing to watch.
