( he's really trying to be a gentleman. he's trying. he watches her, as he licks his fingers clean, watches her take that huge bite and then the cream oozes out the back and he snorts, then clamps his palm over his mouth like he doesn't want to laugh at her outright, but he's laughing despite it all. and it's not that he's making fun, it's just that--well it's cute, isn't it? her face is smeared with all this chocolate and cream and though she's trying to catch it with her tongue, she's not exactly doing a very good job of it.
and a real gentleman, sure, a real gentleman would get up and get her a napkin, or maybe fish her one out of the box, it probably came with napkins and wet tissues. but this is easier, and she's not fussing with it, so: he sits up on his knees, braces one hand against the coffee table, and stretches the other out to rub his thumb across her cheek, taking as much of the chocolate as he can. then he pops it into his mouth and sits back down like it was the most casual thing in the world to do. )
Mhm~ Okay. ( he nods, taking in her explanation as he sucks the chocolate of his thumb. ) I knew I shouldn't have started running again, but man, I can't escape my freaking trainers even on this planet...
( he's smiling though, ruefully, and then reaches into the box for his own cream puff. he's worked hard enough lately, he can have just the one for now, right? right. he takes a small bite off the side, groaning with pleasure, because this is a damn good cream puff, and he's trying really hard not to let it all ooze out. ) Okay, so we should save some of these for breakfast, they'll be so good...
