"What are we having today?" Cas asked, picking up utensils for himself.
"What are we having today?" Cas asked, picking up utensils for himself.
"Fish and wild rice," Halm said. He smiled at both of the others.
"Hope you enjoy."
Nix leaned down to just start eating, but Cas pushed him back. "You're not gonna be able to use utensils, but at least use your hands." Nix hesitated a few seconds before picking up his fish and biting into it.
Halm smiled a little. Nix was trying, at least. Hopefully, Cas would be okay with him going back to his normal state. He wasn't sure Nix would do good as a human permanently. He started eating, finishing quickly. He sat back, happy to wait.
"Can cats eat rice?" Cas asked, trying to help Nix eat his food. He clearly was very unused to eating this way.
"Yes," Halm assured. He'd made sure to pick foods Nix could handle when he turned back. Of course, in his human body he could handle everything a normal human could. Halm scooted over a little to offer help if need be.
"I'm not sure he likes being a person… it might be best to change him back so he can actually eat."
Halm nodded.
"I figured," he said. He offered his hand to Nix as he had before.
Nix hesitated before accepting Halm's hand and returning to cat form. He jumped onto the table and started eating his rice.
"Much better," Halm noted with a smile. He picked up his own plate, putting it away.
Nix licked up the last of the rice and yawned, jumping down into Cas's lap. Cas picked him up and carefully jumped off of his chair.
Halm came over for the other two plates.
"That was quite the adventure for you to, huh?" He asked with a smile. He was actually contemplating claiming Nix as well, but he probably wouldn't.
"Mhmm." Cas held Nix close to his chest, smiling softly. "I dunno what I'd do without him…"
Halm nodded.
"I'm glad he cares for you as much as you do him." He stepped back when he was done with the dishes.
Cas nodded and put Nix's paws on either of his shoulders, holding him close. "He's the best."
"So are you," Halm said, putting one hand on Cas's head. He smiled gently.
"Am not." Cas huffed, looking up at Halm. "Just Nix."
"Are too," Halm objected. "Both of you."
Cas flushed and turned away, burying his face in Halm's fur.
Halm chuckled softly.
"There's those adorable red cheeks," he said softly.
"Nooo…" Cas kept his face buried in Nix's fur. "M'not cute…"
"Then you're handsome," Halm said. "Because you look amazing." He wrapped his arms around Cas, smiling.
"Why are you suddenly so intent on telling me I'm attractive?" Cas asked tentatively, keeping Nix close to himself.
"Because you are," Halm said. "I want to help you feel good about yourself."
"But it feels kinda like you're flirting with me…" Cas said quietly.
