Halm laughed a little.
"Don't try to eat the spoon," he said. "We use it to bring the food to your mouth, not to eat." He smiled softly, reaching up to take the spoon from Nix. He patted Nix's head.
"You'll get it eventually."
"Oh… okay." Nix purred softly when Halm touched his head. He allowed Halm to take the spoon and watched him curiously again. "Can I have more?" He asked.
group
"Of course," Halm said. He picked up some more oatmeal, offering it to Nix.
Nix just ate off the spoon this time, not even bothering with trying to pick it up. Halm praised him when he did it this way, so it must be the right way, right?
group
Halm smiled.
"Good," he said with a soft smile. He pulled the spoon back. He scratched the top of Nix's head.
Nix closed his eyes and purred happily, turning back his ears again. He clearly enjoyed the praise. Cas smirked a bit and ate more of his oatmeal.
group
Halm pet Nix a bit more, using this as an opportunity to take a bite of his own food. He looked over at Cas, smiling a little. This was nice. He pulled his hands away, picking Nix's spoon up again.
Nix's ears pricked up when he noticed Halm lifting the spoon. He kept purring quietly as he watched.
group
Halm brought the food up to Nix's lips.
"You're doing really good, with this being your first time," he praised.
"Mm…" Nix curled his tail around himself as he ate, still purring contentedly. "I'm not used to my food hurting me when I try to eat it."
group
"I understand," Halm said. "I'll keep from making too many things that are too hot, okay?" He smiled softly, feeding Nix. Everytime Nix was successful he got head rubs, mostly because Halm loved the look Nix got in his face.
Nix seemed content through the whole process. He was getting fed and pet at the same time. What more could he want. He purred softly, nuzzling into Halm's hand every time he was touched.
group
Eventually, Nix's good was gone. They had finished. Halm smiled gently.
"That's everything," he said. He kept rubbing Nix's head. He pet Nix as he started to eat his own food.
"Mmm…" Nix yawned a bit and huddled up against Halm, purring. "He gets clingy after he eats." Cas explained, finishing his own food and laying back down on the bed. "And it being warm probably won't help."
group
"I see," Halm said, looking at Cas. Halm put his arm around Nix, rubbing his head. Halm ate quickly, smiling softly.
"Feeling okay?" He asked Cas.
"Yeah, I'm a little better than earlier at least… not nauseous anymore. Still a bit sore, but that's mostly better too." Cas sighed softly. Nix huddled closer to Halm, nuzzling against him affectionately.
group
"That's good," Halm said. Halm put both arms lightly around Nix, rubbing his head and back.
"Be sure to let us know if anything changes."
Cas nodded a bit. "Nix sometimes gets nippy when he's tired as well. He never bites very hard, though. More like a strange affectionate thing. It probably won't hurt as much when he's human." Nix nuzzled against Halm's arm, his ears flattened back against his head.

(kinky)
"Ah," Halm said, understanding. He wondered to himself if Nix would do that to him. He scratched Nix's head. Nix seemed to be enjoying this, and Halm was content with that.
"I'm to take it you aren't tired, seeing as you slept all day?"
(Yep)
Cas shrugged a bit. "I'm still feeling pretty drained, but I don't think I'd be able to fall back asleep." Nix pushed his head into Halm's hand, purring. "He seems to like you."
group
(you're the first to every respond like that to me saying that and I'm so grateful-)
Halm nodded.
"I figured." He looked down at Nix. "And I'm glad to hear that." He smiled softly. Times like this it wasn't hard to remember Nix was a cat. And they were getting along a lot better now.
"It is getting late though. We'll have to think of something to do about sleeping."
(Lmao)
"What do you mean?" Cas asked curiously. He looked down at Nix. "Oh, there he goes." Nix, clearly half asleep, gently bit down on Halm's forearm. He let go soon and then just lay his head down on Halm's arm where he'd bitten him.
group
"Well, obviously Nix is exhausted." He chuckled lightly, looking down when he was bit. It definitely didn't hurt him- it took a lot to do that- but it's felt… Interesting. He patted Nix's head lightly.
"And as long as your awake I'm probably going to stay up."
Cas nodded, snickering a bit at Nix. "Alright. Don't you need to rest too, though? I've been asleep all day. It's your turn." Nix yawned and purred when Halm patted him.
group
"I'm just making sure your safe," Halm said. "I can go without sleep." Halm looked down to make sure Nix was comfortable, smiling a little. He ran his hand down Nix's back, then scratched lightly behind Nix's ears.
Nix purred louder and stretched a bit when Halm scratched behind his ears, clearly enjoying it. "Maybe you can, but that doesn't mean you should."
group
"I just want to make sure you're safe." Halm sighed a little. "I'll be fine." Halm scratched Nix's head a bit more, smiling softly.
Nix nuzzled into Halm's hand, clearly happy. "I'll be okay, Halm… I'm going stay away from the water."
group
"There are other things I'm worried about too." Halm glanced down at Nix, lightly using one finger to trace under Nix's jaw. "If your soul decides to act up, for example."
"I thought you froze it in my body or something?" Cas asked. Nix purred happily, tilting up his chin when Halm touched his jaw.
