Welcome to Gaia! ::

Miyuki looked over at Andarien and nudged him, "At least give the chopsticks at try."

She loved her little brother, and it was because of that she wasn't letting him take the easy way out. Miyuki knew that Andarien would take the path easiest to him, which was okay, but other times not so much.

Kara smiled as she let Lin do the teaching, as she was sitting closer and it allowed Lin to lean in a bit.

"Hold the first chopstick between these fingers like this," she showed him, "This allows you to keep it stable, and then you hold the top chopstick like this, it allows you to move it up and down to grab things."

Miyuki picked up her chopsticks and nimbly picked up a dumpling from one of the plates. Taking a bit from it, she savoured it before swallowing, she missed dumplings and things like that. Even though by now she was use to eating a whole variety of foods thanks to all the traveling they did.

"You use them to eat," she explained.

"It does take quite a bit of getting use to, but at least you can grab things, most people can't on their first go," Donovan commented.

Miyuki put down her chopsticks and showed Andarien piece by piece how she held them and how she used them.

"And then all I need to do is pick up food, I mean, it takes practice, but once you get it, its easy," she told him.

"At least we're not having anything round or noodles in soup," Lin murmured to him with a smile.

Though she was happen to at least have noodles, but they were stir fried and so not as hard to pick up, at least to her.

Miyuki set down her chopsticks, "They only have one type of chopsticks here."

She picked up Andarien's and helped him form his fingers around them instead to at least get him started.

"Like this."

"You need to grip them," Miyuki told him, "You can't just let them fall to close, you need to move your fingers to open and close them, like your fingers are a hinge or something. It takes practice."

Honestly she didn't remember much from it, because as far as she knew, she always used chopsticks, even if she didn't use them properly at first.

Miyuki sighed and moved to make him hold it in one hand, "If you can't do it the usual way, then at least hold it with one hand, you know the idea is to use them to grab the food, so it doesn't have to be perfect, if all else fails you can stab the food instead of pick it up. Though you'll need a fork for the noodles."

Since using both hands would make trying to use them worse not better.

Miyuki frowned slightly, because she knew that look. Even though she understood her little brother had a hard time with stuff, sometimes it felt to her that he got upset too easily when things didn't go his way.

"Then use a fork, you're getting grumpy. Maybe you can try when you don't actually want to eat something."

Since she figured he was more grumpy because he wanted to eat than anything else.
