[ Is that a concern? Mo Ran tilts his head, clearly confused. ] All animals like warmth. There's nothing wrong with it. I used to keep fledgelings warm when their nests weren't enough, or families of bunnies when it snowed too much and they weren't ready for winter yet. I liked having their company, as I'm sure I'll enjoy yours too whenever you want warmth. [ He grins, eyes disappearing into the most dazzling smile. It's obvious he's not pretending, he isn't capable of it.

Then the plate of food is put in front of him and Mo Ran observes it curiously. The color is peculiar, but he doesn't judge it. He reaches directly with his fingers, instantly burning his tips with a hiss. His wolf ears pop out at the top of his head only to squeeze back, upset, and Mo Ran growls at the food, as if threatening it.

Then he picks up a little of it between two fingers and shoves it in his mouth as quickly as possible, chewing on it like he's on a mission. ] ...it's good! [ He announces, licking his pads, before he tries to dig in again, but his hand hesitates, not wanting to hurt again. He whines softly, like a pup, clearly hungry but unsure how to behave. ]

[ Ah, yes. Of course. Animals like warmth. And humans are also animals, even if they try to rise above their base instincts. It's normal and natural to want warmth. And Chu Wanning needs to stop thinking such dirty thoughts.

He watches quietly as Mo Ran studies the food, knowing it is likely not tasty or even passable; he truly is a terrible cook. Though the ears appearing do surprise him, as does the growl. ]

It needs to cool down! Don't shove it in your mouth like that. [ He passes Mo Ran a spoon, then realizes that would be a tool he doesn't know, and reaches for his hand. ] Let me show you.

[ He's always been best at being a hands on teacher, so he guides Mo Ran's hand around the spoon handle, showing him how to use it. Chopsticks, he knows, will have to wait until later, but this works for now.

The instruction also helps take up some time— the dish is a little cooler when Chu Wanning guides his hand down to the plate and scoop up some of the food. ] Then blow on it. Like this. [ He demonstrates by pursing his lips and blowing a little. ]
