[This hadn't been the most fun for the youkai, but he wasn't going to complain much. The only blessing here was that Sanzo wasn't around for this, as much as the monk loved water.
Hakkai could feel the air growing thin in his current refuge, so he knew his time there was growing short. He gathered his wits and took a deep breath before slipping past the barrier into the water. His swim wasn't terribly long, but it wasn't exactly his idea of a good time, either. The next room he reached that was unlocked allowed him to spill unceremoniously into what looked like... well, he wasn't exactly sure?
The youkai shook his head to fling water from the strands and replaced the monocle over his right eye.]
I'm sorry if I'm intruding. [He called carefully, holding a hand carefully in front of him in case he needed to summon a chi shield. Startling people who were already in a panic over an event wasn't probably the best idea, but he wouldn't begrudge them if they did attack.] Just say so and I'll leave if anyone's here.

[There's a perpetually smiling face on the network. He's keen to keep up appearances, even if demons don't seem to be that big of a problem here as back home. Well, not unless his mirror crosses over...]
I was wondering--I know there are plenty of places to sit down and have a proper meal, but cooking is my speciality and I'd love to contribute to the community in any way I can. Would anyone be interested in some Japanese-style cooking? If this steps on anyone's toes, please do speak up! I don't want to intrude on anyone else's turf, as it were. [There's that disarming smile again. Wide, sweet, and to those that knew him intimately, very plastic.]
☯ [Action: Kitchen]
[Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah--wait, no. It's just Hakkai. And he's cooking a lot of... something. One might also notice that he's meticulously cleaning everything. That's probably not a good sign, but hey, if you stop by for food, he'll absolutely feed you. As it is, there are already a few plates of different dishes sitting on the counter that he's made for any weary travellers who are looking for something to eat.
This might actually be a normal sight to most in his time in Wonderland. Hakkai's known for his love of the culinary arts, along with his love of teaching. But when he is stress-cooking, it's best to just enjoy the food and try not to piss him off the mild-mannered youkai.]
Take a seat and pick a plate. I'm also taking requests. [He'll say to anyone who enters the kitchen with that friendly smile of his.]
