Being a part of Deuil gave Ash a sort of incentive to get better at cooking, as well as better at handling others.

Perhaps it was the way Smile always tended to get into trouble for amusement, or how Yuli always seemed to be picky with everything, but Ash always felt the need to help keeps his friends happy and comfortable.

Right now, he was trying to do that while in the kitchen of Yuli's castle, cooking up some food for dinner for the band. The werewolf was a rather good cook, and he knew that, but he wanted everything to be perfect for his friends.
