He paused and peered at his lover at the mention of fork, considering for a moment. That wasn't unreasonable, and it was more practice. He knew that Richard had acquired and used utensils, and Silco himself was one that almost never ate with his hands. He also never made a point to be disgusted that Richard did; Zaun was a wild place and more people ate with their hands in a rather rude and gross fashion than anyone would ever discuss. It never bothered him.] That can be arranged, but I think you've become aware of the basics. It only requires muscle memory now.

It didn't help his cause that Richard was miles of legs and also rather distracting from this angle as he looked up at the younger man's face.] It appears Jinx's right hand had stepped out of the picture. We will see if he comes in time, but I suspect he was lost in the reset.

[Though to Silco, nothing worthwhile was lost. If anything, this was a boon to him.]
