(no worries Wolfwood, I was at an anime convention for 2 days anyway<img alt="&gt;.&gt;" src="./images/smilies/shifty.gif" title="Shifty eyes"/>)<br/><br/>Moving right onto his lap, the waitress looked up at Duza and giggled.  The hyena was leaning back away from her without even realizing it.  On either side of him were a pair of neko arms seemingly petting him.  But if he tried to move...they wouldn't actually try to restrain him- would they?  It was making him nervous.<br/><br/>The little fingers stroked along the side of his jaw, briefly tracing his cheek and then rubbing underneath.  That wasn't so bad...it felt rather nice actually.  She looked up at him again.  "Aww he likes that, that's so cute!  I hope you stay a while Mr. Hyena, all the girls would love to pet you!."<br/><br/>He was about to respond but she silenced him, putting a finger to his lips.  "I'm not done with you yet, I still have to see how stretchy your jaws are.  I'm sure I don't have to worry about any biting from you!."  More giggles came from all around at the joke.<br/><br/>Duza wanted to push his head away from her even further, dreading that he might actually have somehow changed so that his jaws stretched like those of a snake, but found his head already against the back of the booth(and with one of the nekos playing with his ears again).  She laughed as his ears laid back.  "Now hold still, i'm not going to hurt you."<br/><br/>The two hands went to either side of his muzzle and gently gripped along the sides.  She pulled downwards and Duza's unresisting jaws slipped open.  She moved his underjaw downwards most of the way it could go before letting go.  Duza felt rather uncomfortable with so many eyes on him but couldn't bring himself to do anything about it.<br/><br/>Grinning ear to ear the little waitress addressed him again.  "Now i'm going to see if I can make it stretch or not."  Duza immediately began to worry she was going to force her head into his jaws or something, but she caught his look and intercepted the thought.  "Oh don't worry!  I'm not going to ram my head in or something, it probably wouldn't even be possible as worried as you are right now!"  Duza had no idea what that was supposed to mean.<br/><br/>The neko slipped one of her hands into his mouth, and it almost seemed to be moving in slow motion.  It was then he noticed that she really was straining to get it in!  "Ughh....you really are scared aren't you Mr. Hyena!  Relax- you're so worried about this I can't hardly even get my hand in!  The more unwilling you are the harder it is!  Except for wild beasts no one can be eaten or be made to eat another if they don't want to, but at least ease up a bit!  You should be enjoying yourself!"<br/><br/>She withdrew her hand and started to massage his shoulders, whispering encouragement to him about how much he would like it here and what he was missing out on, and even how cute she thought he was and how nice his markings looked.  Duza found himself quite calmed down after a while, and it was then he noticed a few others had been petting him as well.<br/><br/>The waitress tapped him on the nose then, catching his attention.  "When I try again this time are you going to let my hand in Mr. Hyena?"  Duza managed a nod to her.  He found himself unwilling to speak for some reason, as if she was in charge and he had to listen.  "Okay then, open wide cutie."
