The dining room reflected the inn's empty status. Zelgadiss chose a seat in the corner with a view of the door and ordered a reasonable meal. At time like these he could sympathise with Lina and Gourry. He wasn't hungry as often as his friends but when he was, he was near ravenous. His meal came and he ate quickly, hardly even bothering to enjoy the taste.
"You've been around Lina-san far too long Zel-chan." Xellos said and Zelgadiss choked.
"How long have you been there?" He sputtered when he could breathe again.
"Long enough." The mazoku replied cheerfully as the waitress brought him an ice cream sundae. "I'll never understand why all my friends eat as though they're starving. Good food should be savoured." He dipped the spoon into the ice cream and then drew it up to his mouth before licking the whipped cream off the top. Zelgadiss watched, momentarily entranced, as the mazoku's pink tongue drew small designs over the soft ice cream before finally taking the spoon into his mouth and sucking it clean as slow as possible.
Zelgadiss spared a glance towards the rest of the sundae and wondered just how long it would take for the mazoku to finish it. As he contemplated it, Xellos took another spoonful and treated it in a like manner. Zelgadiss decided it was going to take a very long time and he almost groaned.
The fact that Xellos was gorgeous was bad enough, but he had an incredibly talented mouth and Zelgadiss was finding it impossible to tear his gaze away. This torture continued until Xellos discovered a cherry at the bottom of the sundae and managed to suck it into his mouth with a fairly audible 'pop.'
Zelgadiss slammed his coffee cup down on the table and stood up quickly.
"Something wrong Zel-chan?" Xellos asked in the most innocent tone imaginable. Zelgadiss didn't bother replying, he just left the dining room without caring where he wound up.
