[C] The old Master

"We should attach broom to bottom of pup," Lyo suggested around a chunk of steak. "Would clean kitchen quickly."

Coilean looked up at Lyo's joking suggestion then lowered his head with a little huff, reaching out to push the pup across the floor again as he munched on the last of his chips.

After licking the bowl clean, he turned his attention to Tuzik, laying his head on the Hound's thigh and whining softly.

The pup gave another whine as he was slid across the ground again, moving to curl up around Alyosha's feet, hoping to catch any dropped scraps.

Tuzik reached down and pet Coilean's head softly, picking up one of his remaining chips and pressing it to the man's lips.

He's share chips but not his steak.

Lyo reached down to pet the Hound curled up at his feet, but he didn't offer him any food.

His mother had always been strict about feeding pets tidbits at the table and he'd taken on that mindset, too. So when Tuzik fed Coilean a chip, he raised a brow at the Hound.

"Don't feed pets at table. They get their own dinner."

Coilean whined quietly.

"Not pet."

Tuzik replied, stroking Coilean's head gently, toying with his hair.

Coilean wasn't his pet, he was his lover, it was different for him.

Lyo shook his head.

"No feeding him at the table. He had his own. No more or he'll get fat."

His gaze turned to Coilean and he gave him the look. "You know better, too. No trying to take other's food when you've eaten already."

Coilean gave a pitiful little whine.

Tuzik gave a pout, he had been trying to be nice.

Still, he went back to eating his meal, his hand dipping below to table to give the Lycan soft pets on the head.

"Good boy, Tuz."

Lyo chewed and swallowed his last chip before setting his cutlery down. He pushed away from the table and picked up his plate.

He bent over to pick up the plate and bowl on the floor then headed towards the sink.

it didn't take long for Tuzik to finish off his meal, using cutlery didn't hold him back as much as it use to.

He carried his plate over to the sink then sat down on the ground with Coilean, nuzzling against him.

Today had turned out better than expected.
