Okay, so first of all, THIS JUST REMINDED ME ALL OVER AGAIN WHY I LOVE COOKLETA. BECAUSE, REALLY. Archie as a competent ninja is like the best thing ever, by the way, i love that he's all BOOYA and awesome and okay maybe not BOOYA but still, he is awesome!
HE RUNS COOK THROUGH AND THEN APOLOGISES, OH MY GOSH. HE IS SCEPTICAL OF COOK BEING A GOOD CAPTAIN. HE CALLS HIMSELF JAMES ARCHIBALD. and your COOK, oh my gosh, all snarky and amused despite being RUN THROUGH and this exchange:
"You really don't," The Ninja agrees. "You're a lot more, um--"
Cook's mouth curves despite himself. "Handsome?" he hazards. "Rugged? Attractive?"
"Sober," The Ninja says, firmly, but he's flushed, and he won't meet Cook's eyes.
this is just PERFECTION okay. PRETENDING TO BE ENGAGED, I CAN'T EVEN. JAMES ARCHIBALD LOLOL AND COOK BEING SO... UNFLUSTERED BY ALL OF THIS IDEK WHERE IS THE REST OF IT NOW PLS
