It's not a matter of skill. Some stuff is more of a hassle to make than it's worth unless you're selling it as part of a business. I can get sugar from a lot of sources, I prefer this for the taste.
(And they're in their typical civilian garb. As in, starkly contrasted to Gannon, being a small slip of a person wearing enough layers as to make one wonder how they function in the heat.
They're wearing their pink split skirt outfit today.
They'll wave at him when he approaches.)
It's not too far.
(Within half a mile of the docks.
..It's weird to think that they're on the back of a creature so big that its size can be measured in miles.)
(100% true and 0% shame there. Yeah, there might be other things motivating them to wander off but they always gotta stop by the bakery.
Anyway they'll take the lead. As usual, walking with Chris is uniquely efficient, as crowds just seem to part more easily around them. With Ganon's sheer intimidation factor likely contributing to people staying out of their way, they ought to get to their destination in no time flat.
The building may not look like much... but wow that is a beautiful window display, with its arrangement of cakes and tarts decorated in dazzling colorful arrays of candied fruits and flowers and little chocolates in various shapes.
either way he's taking no notice of the crowd and no interest. Instead gazing at the sweets with dubiousness, though some of the breads may catch his attention. Hn.]
...we would not have the means for them to continue such a variety on the ship.
[As much as he'll get to of 'okay, fine, no kidnapping']
[Don't expect it to happen often. He'd much rather cover the land in darkness, etc etc.
But.
...yeah those smells are good, he'll silently admit that. Some of the bakery clientele seem a little surprised about a man of his...bearing...being present here, especially with the critical frown he wears as he looks over everything - lingering near the savory foods, rather than sweet - but as ever?
He mostly ignores the others. Though what he's looking at appears to use some honey - he's used to that, at least.]
...this...excess...is far more than I ever cared to indulge in.
So long as you are able to maintain it over another's attempts to wrest it away, I suppose there is no harm.
[Don't get fat and lazy, in other words. Sidestep will know by now that Ganondorf doesn't tolerate any sort of sloth; he will allow rests, yes, but gives a critical eye to even those.
Even so, he makes a gesture towards one of the breads. That one.]
Could just make any potential thieves taste nothing but garbage if they try.
(It wouldn't last for long after they stopped actively projecting the illusion unless they went really strong on it, but...
Anyway, Ganon shouldn't be worried. They're going to remain scrawny and underwhelming forever.
They'll get the bread for him, and anything else he asks for, along with enough sweets that they can either share with him if he wants or keep the extras for later.)
[He's not going to waste effort debating this. He's just going to give Sidestep an flat look that says as much, and, with a not-quite-sigh, indicate a sort of candied fruit.]
Enough for the crew.
[He's doing this as a Favor, Sidestep. You best appreciate him indulging like this! Though every part of him - posture, mind, etc - is practically screaming this is stupid. But hey, at least he's reassured that Sidestep isn't plotting behind his back?
And he - Ganondorf - isn't stupid enough to outright call this detour of theirs stupid, nor even discourage them from doing so. Makes no difference, so long as he can still count on them.]
(Oh they appreciate it alright. Look at that shit eating grin. Don't you just want to punch them in the face?)
Of course.
(They're going to get so much mileage out of this. How pissed will Ganon be when he has to admit that the pastries are delicious?
They decide not to push their luck by ordering anything more than what he's asked for and the excess they've already ordered. Ganon isn't an opponent that can be beat with simple numbers.)

If that is the case, then the chef could be brought into the crew.
[Kidnapping. He's talking about kidnapping the baker.]

Every day, Chris?
