Po fumbled around with a handful of pots and pans as he tried to lean back onto the counter. He reached for a ladle, before carefully placing the pots and pans as close by as he could fit on the stove.
The dragon warrior poured the broth into the first bowl and stirred it the best he could. He grabbed another bowl and placed it next to the first, doing the same thing.
Quickly, he pulled open the bag of carrots and began pouring them evenly into the two bowls.
"Dinner smells good." Tigress commented from behind. She smiled at the panda well taking one of the dirty pots and placing it in the sink for him.
"Thanks Ti." Po answered, beaming at the compliment. He juggled a bag of noodles well chopping up a few radishes. "It should be done within ten minutes if I can ever get this cut up." He glared at the radishes with annoyance as he turned the burner back on.
The tiger master smiled lightly before taking a sip of her drink. "Your fathers recipe, I'm guessing?"
"Kinda. It's a new one though. He said it's good, so I'm hoping.."
Tigress smiled sheepishly. "I'm sure it'll taste fine."
"Thanks Tigress." Po grinned again, before an idea struck him. "Hey, you wanna help?"
"Huh? With what?"
"With cooking, silly." The dragon warrior motioned towards the bowls. "You can stir. And I'll finish chopping."
He walked her over to the boiling bowl, where she eyed it with uncertainty. Po didn't seem to notice though and began his own task.
Tigress slowly picked up the spoon. She glanced at it, then back at Po.
"I just move it around in a circular motion, correct?"
"Uh huh!"
"Okay.."
Tigress placed the spoon into the bowl. She moved it up and down before going back and forth. This action, caused some of the broth to splash out onto her. The tiger master didn't hesitate to grab a wet rag and wipe it off, before trying again.
"You just gotta mix it, Ti. Make sure it's following around in the shape of the bowl so the carrots will get smoothed out more." Po stated, with a sly smile. Tigress felt her face heat up. Clearly, he had seen that..
The hardcore warrior touched the ladle again as she tried to do as he said. However, the spoon kept turning and the carrots were moving around every time she tried to mix them. She groaned in frustration before turning back to the Dragon Warrior. "This is hopeless. Cooking is not my thing."
"Here." Po walked up behind her, placing his hand over hers on the spoon. He leaned over, his fur touching hers on her back. Tigress face heated up again at the action, but once again he didn't seem to notice.
"You just keep moving 'round like this." The fluffy panda announced, softly. Tigress gave a weak nod, as she met his eyes.
He didn't notice but his other hand was wrapped around her waist.
"You try." Po replied, letting go of the spoon but still keeping his hold on her. Tigress nodded vigorously.
She touched the spoon and tried to stir like Po had demonstrated. It wasn't perfect, but it was working. Po shot her a huge smile as he gave her a light squeeze before retracting back.
"Hey! You did it. You see, your a natural!"
Tigress smiled as if she was listening, but really, her mind was placed on how amazing it felt when Po was holding her.
