"Sounds delicious. I do apologize for being such a bother about the desert, though." Jake smiled, as he made his way around to his seat. Jade pulled out the chair for him and made sure that he was all set. Even in the company of another's home, she still did her best to tend to her master's every need. She stood behind Jake's chair, noticing the extra that had been pulled out. She was a little hesitant about sitting in it though, never once having been allowed to sit at the table during a meal. She decided to wait until everyone else had been seated than ask if she could help with desert. Jake looked up at Jade with a questioning gaze but turned it back to his host. "A few pieces of furniture caught my eye, and I was wondering if you could direct me towards the place you had gotten them. They are quite beautiful pieces and fit perfectly for the decore of the house." He said, giving vague compliments as he always did. It was a trick that he picked up about speaking with others that you weren't as familiar with. Jade hid a chuckle from behind her master's chair, reading his thoughts all too easily. It was a wonder how humans didn't catch on so quickly. They all knew the same secrets but were oblivious to when they were being used on themselves.

“It’s no trouble at all Jake. Now, what pieces exactly did you admire?” My father asked before taking a forkful of chicken to his mouth. I picked at my food not really hungry. My mother scowled at my childish behavior and I stopped picking. I ate a bit of mashed potatoes before looking at Jake and Jade. Jade seemed to chuckle a Jake and I wondered why. I saw Téras’s smile falter when Jade asked to help with the deserts but as soon as it disappeared it came back. I smiled beginning to really eat my meal.

I frowned slightly at Jades suggestion to help with the dessert. I quickly put a smile back on before pulling out her chair. “Please sit and enjoy your meal or your food might get cold.” I said trying to get her to sit. Demons do not need to eat or sleep but I did not need any help with the desserts since all the prep work had been done and everything mixed. Now it was cooking so there really wasn’t much to be done.
