[ Tim, used to only Allen reading his wants, stares up in outright at Kizu and Shouto as they serve him. Kizu especially, watching as she directs Shouto with the fluff of his own tail flicking back and forth in growing eagerness too. The rosiness on his cheeks deepens as his whole body wiggles with joy when he can finally begin eating—doing so very noisily as he especially targets the skewers of dango and eats them sticks and all. He saves one stick though, careful to pull the dumpling off without damaging it, and sets it on the table between them. He he rolls it towards her as an offering, while looking hopefully at her. Toy?
Tim and Allen are both enchanted to watch Shouto feed the koi, Allen laughing lightly when they zigzag around in pursuit of tidbits. He begins to help himself too, taking the lion's share of the dango and half the remaining fruit, and a modest amount of the soba as he leaves that primarily for Shouto. He does offer Shouto a skewer of them as well once he's helped himself, not too unlike how Timcanpy offered Kizu the wood itself. Dango?
Regardless of the answer, his demeanor is bright and light-hearted, a lively and happy smile that hasn't left his face since they sat down. And when Shouto hums softly, Allen shifts ever so slightly so that their shoulders faintly touch. His own smile turning briefly more inward as his expression also becomes thoughtful, warm and touched, and his chewing of one stick of dango at a time slowing. He remarks kindly on how Kizu seems bigger again, with animation and a small laugh at the koi when they cluster over near him and press their faces up against the glass at seeing he too has food, and then more softly and near Shouto's ear when he points to a place on the wall and asks him what he thinks about hanging some of the pictures there later after they frame them. He might kiss the corner of his jaw faintly when he does, in a soft and nostalgic way.
On and on, filling the lulls of Christmas brunch with gentle conversation and a lighthearted demeanor. Telling stories, including a couple about performing as a child with Mana on Christmas. The good stories, carefully preserved as such in his memories and separated with care from the not so good ones. ]
