"To have a table THIS big, means you normally have LOTS of guests... doesn't it?" He motioned with a jerk of his thumb to the many chairs against the long table. "I don't care for crowds. I like evenly matched encounters... So if we encounter a crowd, just letting you know now, I'm gonna book it." Nolen gave a nervous smile. He didn't like admitting there were things he didn't want to handle, but he couldn't just leave Javier alone to face crowds without a warning. That wasn't right.

Javier nodded his head " I would think so" he answered looking at the table and the chairs. He swished his tail to and fro idly before tilting his head to the side at what he said. "why don't you like being in crowds?" he asked curious to know,hoping that wouldn't offend him. He then nodded his head at his comment about booking it "well..okay" he said.
As they progressed through he was coming up with a solution as to how to get Nolen use to crowds. "you know..if you feel uncomfortable you could always cling to me" he said offering a suggestion. Not unless Nolen was uncomfortable being so close to him when it came to crowds. If he was that was okay with him to, he would just go after him if came to that.

Nolen smiled so warmly to him. "Crowds have never ended up well for me." He pointed to a faint scar barely visible near his neck. If Javier EVER looked closely, he would see tons of these very light scars crisscrossing over his skin from his arms, to his chest that was open to the world to see from his green shirt. As they came up to a large door, he looked back at Javier. "If we encounter a crowd, I might drag you with me." His tail flicked as he turned back to the door and cracked it open. Eyes grew wide. "JACKPOT!!!" So much for being quiet. He flung open the door and ran inside a LARGE kitchen. "Do you know how to cook Javier?"

Javier chuckles and shook his head. "what happened to being sneaky?" he said before following Nolen into the kitchen and looking around. "but sadly I don't know how to cook" he admitted shyly. "my mom mostly did" he said before walking over to the cupboards and fridge to see what they had.

Nolen laughed. "Oops sorry. I just REALLY like food!" He ran around to the fridge and his jaw dropped. If he was alone he might have started to drool. MEATS!!! They were inside, thawing out. Obviously, someone was preparing to use this meat later but sad for them, Nolen got to it first. He glanced over at Javier. "Thats okay. I can cook a little. I really REALLY like meat. How about you?" He wasn't about to cook something that his friend wouldn't eat. "They have beef in here, and chicken.. looks like some fish wrapped up in the back. What would you like?"

Javier shook his head at his energetic friend. "I'm okay for now" he said before padding around the kitchen and letting his friend find some food. He swished his tail to and fro idly."though I may take something to drink" he answered.

Nolen's smile faded for a moment before he beamed again and quickly washed his hands in the sink. "Well then lets get you something to drink! Lets see.." He glanced in the fridge, "I see something that looks like iced tea... I hope that's lemonade.." He shut the door before going through all the doors in the kitchen until finally... "Aha!" He beamed in triumph and held up a bottle of wine. "Would you care for this instead?" He didn't know what his royal friend would care for but a wide variety couldn't hurt.

Javier looks at the bottle of wine hestitantly "i..don't drink" he said before heading over to the fridge and pulling out the drink that looks like iced tea. "I'll have some iced tea..instead" he said before taking it out and walking to a cupboard and pulling out a glass.

Nolen blinked. "You don't... drink?" He put the bottle back and walked up to Javier and stared at him with big eyes as if trying to study him. "Is there a reason? Is it just a choice you made for yourself or did something happen?" In this young lion's life this was the first he had ever seen. EVER. And it absolutely fascinated him! His tail swayed as curiosity was swelling.

Javier steps back a bit "umm..No..Its a choice I made on my own" he said. "I can't be like all of you guys who do!" he told him. Before folding his arms and leaning against a wall. He took a breath "i just want to be different from all the guys that do" he admitted.

Nolen looked at him and his ears folded back at the reaction he witnessed. It took the lion a minute or two before he came over to Javier and gave him a hug around his folded arms. "Its okay. I like you the way you are. I just am trying to get to know who you are is all." He let him go and smiled. "I will have some iced tea too. I think it goes better with what I want to cook anyway." Well that wasn't entirely true but he wasn't about to make his new friend upset again. It bothered him a bit to know he had done so in the first place. Reaching for a good skillet and some cooking oil, he threw the oil in the pan and turned on the heat over the stove. He grabbed a small piece of beef from inside the fridge and tossed it in the pan before washing his hands again. "What is your favorite drink?"

Javier sighs a bit "sorry" he said. Before taking a sip of his iced Tea, he thought about it. "my favorite drink..would either have to be Iced Tea or Sprite maybe" he told the other wandering up behind the other and watches him cook. "what is your favorite drink?" he asked

Nolen just smiled warmly and shook his head at the apology. He figured that maybe not drinking had been a trigger for bullying. He grabbed a pair of tongs and flipped the meat as it crackled in the oil. "Believe it or not, its water. I can drink anything I like but really just a glass of ice cold water is good enough for me." He glanced around for a plate to put the meat on when it finished. "So Javier, what is your home like?" He smiled brightly.

Javier wandered over to a cupboard and tossed Nolen a plate to put the meat on. "my home..at the moment is outdoorsy and partially indoorsy" he answered. "what is your home like?" he asked

He caught the plate.. barely. "Thanks!" He turned back to the meat. "I don't have one at the moment." He glanced over at his friend, "How is it partially indoor and outdoor? Do you have siblings?" His curious nature would be the death of him. He took the meat off the pan with the tongs and onto the plate. "Are you sure you don't want any?" He placed the dishes in the sink but did not bother to scrub them yet. He would wait til later.
