She quietly took a seat next to Aedan, giving him a slight nod as she sat. She didn't bother starting a conversation, the two had only spoken briefly in times past, and she didn't want to make breakfast more awkward than it already was. When the food was brought out, the reactions differed from pet to pet. Some were concerned with the amount of sugar the meal consisted of, but it hardly mattered to her. It was sure to be a treat, and with their immortality, she had a life time to work off any weight the excess sugar might entail.
She gingerly cut into one of the sticks as the others started eating, using her fork to dunk the bread into the cream before taking her first bite. It was delicious, more so than she had expected. She savored the flavor for a long moment, chewing slowly before swallowing. She glanced at Sabine several times during the meal, just to see how he was holding up. It wasn't uncommon for him to slip into another mood so soon after coming out of his previous one, and she worried.
As she took a small drought of her coffee, she heard something unusual for the breakfast table. It sounded like, moaning? She glanced over to Dami, seeing him behaving in a way she'd never seen before. He brought the food to his mouth, smothered in cream, and licked at it tantalizingly, while keeping his eyes locked on some of the other pets. As his display continued, she looked down to her fork and knife. Was she eating her toast the wrong way? She had only assumed that using utensils was common place for the sticky sweets they enjoyed, but perhaps Dami was the most cultured out of them. She assumed his moans were more akin to the flavor as opposed to anything sexual. Perhaps he was doing this to let the chefs know how good their craft was.
Immediately, she felt as though her method of eating was the wrong way. She hefted the last chunk of her toast with her hand, dunking the piece in it's entirety into the mug of cream. Heaps of cream spewed over the edges and coated her fingers, and she brought the monstrosity from the mug, copying Dami by keeping it propped upright with her other hand. She opened her mouth wide, unsure as to whether she would be able to eat that much at once, but she stuffed as much of the cream coated bread into her mouth as she could. She helplessly gnawed off the enormous bite, her cheeks puffed out like a squirrel storing food for the winter. "Mmmm! Mmmm!" she groaned enthusiastically through her maw full of food. She didn't want the other pets to think she wasn't enjoying her meal, that would have been rude. She managed to chew and swallow the tremendous bite, and offered Dami another glance. By this point, he was licking his fingers clean, one by one. Following suit, she licked her fingers clean from the excess cream, ignoring the napkin that lay folded neatly next to her plate.
At this point, several of the others had some sort of reaction to Dami's display, and she wondered if Dami was doing it wrong, for the reactions seemed to be mostly in disgust. As Aedan got up to leave, her face immediately flushed red. She buried her hands in her lap, ignoring the cream still lingering in the webs. She bowed her head to hide her shame. Had she just made a complete fool of herself?
Pushing away from her spot at the table, she gathered as many dishes as she could carry, and scurried away to the kitchen, keeping her head hung low, her face still a bright red from her antics in an attempt to be socially correct among the other pets.
