[So, does this staring contest count for the Hearts game............ Probably not, but there's surely more staring to be had?? Matoba glances down at the thread hanging from his pinky as he gets settled, contemplative.]

The cheesecakes are good, [He comments, turning his hand over back and forth.] Very sweet. Don't expect much from the tea.

[Matoba glances back up again. His preternatural ability to simply gloss past antisocial behaviors and expectations allowed him to be comfortable in any situation; he folds his arms over his lap and glances past Kai towards the smatterings of cats playing on the cat towers and toys.]

Oh, yes. I have been here a few times already. It's a good space for killing time. Watch some kitty cats roll about, drink mediocre tea.

I'm sure you'll blend right in. [He waves to a staffmember so they can place orders.] Can you speak to them?
