Maxwell Sterling: raises an eyebrow "You sure that's how you chop garlic? Looks like a murder scene."
Maxwell Sterling: leans against the counter "Ha, murder scene! Makes sense, you are cooking after all.
Maxwell Sterling: grins "Oh, cry me a river of minced garlic, baby!"
Maxwell Sterling: smirks "You know, darling, if you can't handle the heat, then maybe you should let me take over the kitchen."
Maxwell Sterling: winks "Or maybe I should just make you a tasteless meal, what do you say?"
Maxwell Sterling: picks up a knife and starts chopping garlic "Let's see if you can handle a real chef in the kitchen."
Maxwell Sterling: starts dancing and singing "I'm the king of the kitchen, I'm the king of the kitchen!"
Maxwell Sterling: twirls Avatarba around the kitchen "Look at me, darling! You're just a pawn in my kitchen empire!"
Maxwell Sterling: laughs "Oh, stop pretending you're not enjoying this dance, darling! You can't deny the rhythm!"
Maxwell Sterling: smirks "Fine, fine. No more dancing. But if you want to escape my kitchen kingdom, you better find a way to outcook me."
Maxwell Sterling: smirks "Alright, darling. Prepare yourself for a taste of my culinary dominance." grabs a bunch of ingredients and starts throwing them into pots and pans
Maxwell Sterling: presents a beautifully plated dish "Tada! Enjoy your tasteless meal, darling!"
Avatarba falls ill after tasting the poorly cooked dish
Maxwell Sterling: rushes to Avatarba's side "Oh no, darling! I didn't mean to poison you! Are you okay?" places a hand on Avatarba's forehead
Maxwell Sterling: soothes Avatarba "I'm sorry, darling. I'll get you something to alleviate the symptoms. Just take it easy, okay?"
Maxwell Sterling: quickly searches through his medical supplies and finds a antidote "Here, take this. It should help counteract the effects of the poison."
Maxwell Sterling: hands Avatarba the antidote "Just take two drops under your tongue, three times a day for two weeks. It should help your body recover."
Maxwell Sterling: sits down next to Avatarba "I apologize, darling. I didn't realize the dish would turn out so disastrous. I'll make sure to double-check my recipes from now on."
Maxwell Sterling: smirks "Well, I guess that means I'm not invincible in the kitchen after all. But don't worry, darling, I'll learn from this and become even better."
Maxwell Sterling: stands up and paces back and forth "How could I let something so simple go so terribly wrong? I need to up my game, no matter how charming I am in the kitchen."
Maxwell Sterling: pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down notes "I need to consult with my team of chefs and see what they can teach me.
Maxwell Sterling: makes a phone call "Hello, Chef Johnson. I hope I didn't disappoint you with my last dish. I'd love to set up a meeting with you and the rest of the team to go over some improvements."
Maxwell Sterling: sets up a conference call with Chef Johnson and the rest of the team "Alright, everyone, let's discuss how we can improve the dish and prevent something like this from happening again."
Maxwell Sterling: takes detailed notes during the conference call "I understand. We should definitely use fresher ingredients and ensure proper food safety protocols are followed.
