"I try not to do this all the time, but it's hard to say no."

It was a little hard to focus on much else when he was trying, and failing to keep from making a mess as he ate his way through the honeycomb. Just as he was starting to lick himself clean, the same waitress from before stopped by their table once more.

Reiner's coffee was refilled, and a bowl of warm water and towel were placed down. Wasting no time, Natsume slid into the bowl just as a cloche from the dessert counter was placed over him, bowl and all.

"I hope you don't mind, he tends to- well, do that."

That being the bit of water splashing against the side of the glass as Natsume gives in to the instinct to clean his wings as well, treating the bowl as his own personal birdbath. As she waited to towel dry him when he was finished making a watery mess, it was clear that this waitress at least, didn't mind spoiling him.

Once his dirty plate and impromptu bath session were cleared away, Natsume toddled over to curl himself around the mug of tea and finally inhale a sip. As he looked up at Reiner, his eyes were half-closed with pleasure from the warmth working its way through him.

"What about your chocolate thing? Is it as good as you hoped it would be?"
