"Got it," Derlik said, nodding. He kissed Nix's head again, setting the menu down. "And I've got you, too. You're okay, you're safe."

He nodded again, keeping close to Derlik when the waitress returned. He avoided eye contact with her, fidgeting nervously with his hands.

"We'll have the plain stack and my usual," Derlik said. The waitress nodded, writing these things down.
"And to drink?"

"U-Um… juice…" Nix replied awkwardly, not really sure what to say. He turned his ears back again and looked away, still fidgeting.

"I'll have coffee." The waitress nodded, and soon she was gone.
"How are you doing?" Derlik asked, cupping Nix's cheek.

"I'm alright…" He replied softly, pulling himself into Derlik's lap to huddle closer to him. "How long until the food comes?"

"It shouldn't be more than ten minutes," Derlik assured. He adjusted his arms around Nix as he came to the god's lap, rubbing his back.

"Okay…" Nix rested his head against Derlik's chest and closed his eyes, falling quiet to wait for the food to arrive.

Derlik rubbed Nix's back still, glancing around. Everyone was giving them space- good. He didn't want any of them upsetting Nix.

Nix glanced up when the waitress returned, curling in on himself a bit. He was clearly uneasy in the public space, and he kept quiet.

The waitress sat their cups down, Nix's already full of his juice. She poured Derlik his coffee before retreating, head down as she listened to the instructions Derlik told her in her mind.

Nix carefully reached for the cup of juice and pulled it close to himself, drinking it quietly. He kept close to Derlik, the tip of his tail flicking anxiously.

"How are you doing?" Derlik asked. He put some creamer and sugar into his coffee, stirring it. He had his arms on either side of Nix, still keeping him close.

"I'm okay…" He said softly, drinking a bit more of his juice. "I'm sorry for being a problem…"

"You're not being a problem," Derlik corrected, keeping his voice soft. He paused to hug Nix gently, kissing his head.

"But I am… I'm being all… all nervous about everything, and there's nothing to be nervous about…"

"Yes, there is," Derlik said after a moment. "You've been hurt almost every time you've come to earth in this form, especially around other humans. I'm here to protect you though, okay? Not a single person here is going to dare to hurt you."

"Okay…" Nix curled up a bit more, not seeming very reassured. He didn't look up again until the waitress returned with the food.

The waitress sat the food down for the two, retreating quickly with the look from Derlik. They were left alone again, thankfully.

Nix tentatively grabbed a pancake and pulled it close to himself, nibbling at it quietly as he huddled up against Derlik's chest.

Derlik started to eat quietly as well, holding Nix close. The god knew they wouldn't be doing this again any time soon.

Nix soon finished his pancake and yawned, huddling up against Derlik's chest. He still seemed uneasy, but he was at least more relaxed than before.

Derlik looked down when Nix finished, kissing his head. At least he was more relaxed. The god sat his own food down, wrapping his arms around Nix.
"Are you ready to go?"

Nix nodded a bit, curling up in Derlik's arms. "Are we going back to the house now?" He asked softly, barely audible.

"We are whenever you're ready," Derlik confirmed. He moved to stand, holding the curled up man in his arms.

"I'm ready whenever…" Nix rested his head against Derlik's chest and closed his eyes.

Derlik nodded some. He stood, holding Nix close. In just a few steps, they were back in Halm's home.

Nix glanced around warily, not really feeling any better in Halm's house. He didn't want to be around Halm, after all. "What now?" He asked softly.

"We find something to distract ourselves with," Derlik said. "Want to try to go out in the garden?" Derlik wasn't comfortable there either, after all. He and Halm did hate each other, after all.

"Okay… that's fine." Nix said softly, keeping close to Derlik. "What are we gonna do there?"
