[Hey, Taako managed to survive. Only because he prefaced it with the warning he was extremely gay, but still. Humming while he thinks.]
Close, uh, sure. Only because they've managed to cling onto me like stubborn barnacles on the ship of my fame and refuse to be cleaved off.
[Once he's got the chicken back, pushing garlic cloves and a knife over to Wei Wuxian ] Mince that. They don't do magic-- well. Merle can, supposedly, he's just very bad at it all the time. And they aren't allowed to cook, I'm the cook. They'd just mess it up. I've tried to teach Magnus a little, I mean, he's not totally useless, just like you said. Heavy-handed.
[Fortunately, he can do things like mince garlic without it all going horribly wrong in his hands! He gets started with the practiced ease of someone used to getting roped into helping Better Cooks do their thing.]
There's something to be said about that kind of tenacity, don't you think? But it does sound like a good thing you're there for them! Sounds like they'd be eating terribly without you, for sure.
Though he blinks and looks over at that, only briefly pausing in his garlic-mincing so he doesn't finish what Grune started and just take a whole damn finger off.]
—Well! You've been watching them long enough that they've likely picked a few important things up, right? Surely they'd know not to shame you by being unable to last more than a few weeks on their own.
[He's gotten so distracted with this line of thought he's actually stopped cooking for a second - only snapping back to attention when the pot starts to bubble over a little, making him curse and put a wooden spoon over it to stop the spill.]
Yeah. You think so? I mean, I left in the middle of something kinda important and time-sensitive. But who knows how time works in this place?
[Goodbye, pot water... Wei Wuxian watches some of the escaped droplets sizzle into nothingness against the side of the pot, brow briefly pinched.
After another few chops, he pushes the garlic over Taako's way.]
I did hear that two of the people who came from the same world found out that they were from different points in time. It's entirely possible we could just be put right back where we were plucked from, right?

Yeah. [Just stirring without looking up for a second there.] Also probably be dead? So, hopefully they aren't dead.

Maybe. Don't want to jinx it, you know?

[JINXING THINGS, a specialty of his. He watches with quiet curiosity while the ingredients are mixed together.]
Anything else I can do, or shall I step back and let you work your magic?
