Raising her head from the bowl she'd hear Cyrus speak, her tail waving a bit as drops of the stew fell from the fur of her chin.  Raising a hand she'd scratch behind her own ear before pulling a bit of the hair away to keep better track of him.  She wasn't sure why he was talking but she'd take notice that he was using one of the spoons to eat slowly. Reaching over she'd take to the spoon, sliding it closer before clawing into it only to drop it after.  She had learned this lesson before but sadly the scholar failed to finish the lesson due to her old ways.   Picking it up again she'd hold it on the far side of the bowl with both hands this time, the spoon's head pointed inward towards her  and hovering over the bowl.<br/><br/>Dunking the head into the bowl she'd raise it only to see the stew trickle over the side of the spoon, the attempt causing a low growl before she tried again only for it to trickle over the other side.  Annoyed she'd bring her head over the bowl and try to quickly raise the spoon from the stew  to her mouth.  It ultimately succeeded as the stew was thrown across her tongue, the spoon hitting with her sharpened teeth and causing a slight shock of pain before a series of coughs after just throwing the stew down her own throat.  Fumbling during the coughing she'd drop the spoon before falling over the edge of the chair and straight to the floor, her tail flicking a bit angrily with another grumble.<br/><br/>She never had much luck with the spoon thing with the scholar either, finally recalling a memory of dumping an entire pot of pre-sweetened tea over her tail and feeling sticky for many nights after.  Slowly getting up she'd peer over the surface of the table to the bowl, now deeply troubled by the process of eating.  Maybe if she balanced the bowl on the spoon?  Technically it would be holding the food with it and bringing it up to her face right?  Or maybe she could try stabbing at the meat in the water?  Unless she needed the other kind of spoon thing for that?<br/><br/>Giving up at that moment she'd reach over the table and drag the bowl near, her eyes glancing to Cyrus to see if he'd stop her.  To see if she'd get in trouble for not using the spoon, ultimately abandoning the spoon on the floor she fell at.
