[Chibita can't help but blink as Karamatsu freezes, his normal posturing dropped briefly in favor of a rather surprised look, which is followed by a proclamation of how much his oden has been missed--and it startles a laugh out of Chibita, a cackling kekeke!--before he grins widely through the steam]

Of course ya have! My oden's the best there is, ain't it? [he huffs, standing straight again, folding his arms, frowning briefly in contemplation] Up until now, you've probably had to put up with sub-par oden 'r somethin', huh? Keh! [Chibita glances up at Karamatsu again, a confident grin working its way back onto his face] Don'cha worry, Karaboy--[and so saying, he's grabbing a skewer and twirling it with a bit of practiced flourish]--we'll fix ya right up! [with that, he'll start skewering a couple choice pieces of konjak and radish and fishcake and popping them into the broth to heat]
