Aoko watched in a sort of morbid fascination as the meat was speared with the pointed stick with a neanderthalic grunt and deposited in the wielder's mouth with much chewing and obvious satisfaction.

"Well, if it wasn't dead before," Aoko wrinkled her nose. "It is now."

Another piece of meat was stabbed and devoured in the same manner.

"It's barbaric." Hakuba grumbled. "Like watching a savage."

An eyebrow was pointedly raised in Hakuba's direction, as if to remind him whose fault it was.

"Oh, alright." Hakuba acquiesced "I'll go fetch another chopstick to replace the one I displaced."

Kaito smirked.

Anyway. Inspired by dinner a the local Japanese Charcoal Barbecue place, because David can't use chopsticks like a civilized person. Posted today because we took our youngest sister there for the first time and she was tempted to do the same. *laughs*

No, we don't know what happened to the other chopstick, and we're not gonna ask either. ^^;;
