"I guess you could put it that way, it's in the past though. I've learnt my lesson and moved on, so I guess it had its purpose."

Merc nods. He realizes that this is a semi-personal conversation, but Sethos hasn't asked him to stop yet. "I've never really had anyone. Well, not someone who actually loved me. A few casual partners for a while, but no one who actually meant anything... But that's ok, because I still have a long time ahead of me."

"Hell, you're probably doing better than most people. We sound like a couple of old men talking about love like this."

Merc laughs. "Yes, we do." he says. "And why is love so important anyway. Why isn't anyone independant anymore?" he wonders.

"Someone can be in love while still being independent. the problem is the people these days who thinks dating someone automatically means that you're in love and aren't allowed to be your own person anymore. I can see how real love can be very important, but then again most people don't have that, so it's also ok to go without."

Merc takes this in to think about it, as he laps at his milk.

As the catboy goes silent, Seth catches himself watching Mercutio lapping at his milk... really trying to keep his mind off of the things it's making him think of, since this is supper time in a public restaurant, dammit. Just when he was starting to feel uncomfortable with himself, the waitress comes back with their food.

Merc looks into Sethos' eyes and notices a flash of something. He doesn;'t know quite what it is though. The waitress comes back with their food, and merc looks down at his fish. He picks up a fork and eyes it quizzically, being used to eating with his hands. He looks at Seth again. "What's this for?" he asks.

The tennis player blinks at the catboy, "It... would probably be easier for me to just show you, actually." The takes up his own fork and knife and slowly cuts some of his meat so Merc can see.

Merc frowns as he watches the other man cut his own food. He picks up his own fork and knife to mimmick him. "Like this?" he asks. Seeing Sethos nod, he takes a bite. Then he laps at his milk again.

Sethos smiles a little to himself, finding the catboy remarkably cute at the moment. Convinced that merc has got the hang of it, he works on eating his own meal (and appetizers).

Despite being unused to the silverware, Merc manages to polish off the fish in next to no time. He licks his lips to remove and part of the animal before lapping up the rest of his milk. He looks at the other things on his plate, confused. "Sethos, I'm not used to things that normal people are... what are these things?" he asks, holding up a golden brown strip of something.

Seth looks up from his meal to the food in question, "Those are french fries, they're cooked potatoes. You can eat them with your hands."

"Thank you!" the catboy says. He looks at the french fry in his hand and brings it up to his nose. It smells ok, a little too much like hot vegetable oil, but he decides to try it anyway. He pops the rectangular object into his mouth and then almost spits it out. He forces himself to swallow, but not without making a very grossed out face. "That was by far the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. If you like these, then you can have the rest." he says, pushing his plate away.

"All right. Oh, and if you're still hungry you can try some of my appetizers, see if you like those." He slides the plate over to rest with the rest of his. He's feeling a little weird being no where near done, since the catboy is basically done his meal.
