[Minato laughs at the look on Giovanni's face, and sounds amused.]

I'm a horrible cook, but I'm slowly getting enough training that I can be successful at some dishes.

[He widens his eyes comically, and then he grins. Giovanni seems to inspire his younger side.]

Oh, yeah! He's only a bit taller than me, and if he stood his sword on the ground, it'd be this--

[Minato uses a hand to gesture above his head somewhat.]

--tall. He effectively has a range of a spear but in the form of a sword. And you'd think he'd be slow because of the size and weight... except he's fast. It's really impressive--as long as you're watching from a safe distance!
