Duza opened his jaws on his own this time, but all of those eyes on him!  He felt like his fur was going to burst into flames!  They were clearly enjoying his shyness about all of this, but they really seemed to want him to try it.  They weren't trying to make him uncomfortable intentionally, either.  Something just told him to trust them and play along.  A thought flashed through his mind, a brief hope that maybe, just maybe, he would be wrong and it was possible to swallow her.  Where had THAT come from!?  Duza crushed it down immediately.  What was he doing having thoughts like that?<br/><br/>His attention was caught by snapping fingers.  "Hey!  Pay attention silly!  I'm not doing it while you're spacing out staring at a wall."  The waitress paused, seeming to consider.  "Besides, you already made a face like that earlier."  The energetic nods of the group that had put his picture up on a wall somewhere confirmed this.  "Now that you're back with us, let's try that again, shall we?  Sometimes we have to get patrons nice and drunk their first time, but i'm feeling lucky this time."<br/><br/>The small hands reached for his jaws again, and there appeared to be some resistance still, if not so much as before.  Duza's ear twitched as one of the nekos behind him whispered into his ear.  "You're not actually doing bad at all for a first timer.  Just relax, we only want to make you happy.  She really does want you to eat her, you know.  She's so lucky..."  The last part was almost a sigh, and the neko drew back and settled for petting the top of his head.<br/><br/>Hearing what they had been saying all along in a secretive manner from just one revealed to Duza that he had no reason to be holding himself back, that he was the main attraction here to the nekos.  The hands suddenly were moving faster, and grasped around the sides of the lower back of his mouth.  Then the waitress was pushing really hard downward.  His mouth felt like it was stretching to the limit-it must not be working, she was going to break his jaws at this rate!<br/><br/>It was then he realized that his arms were being held this time, as he tried to raise them to pry her loose.  He was getting very near flailing about in panic when there was an odd creaking noise and then a hanging loose feeling in his mouth.  A ripple of murmurs sounded around him.  He finally realized what the feeling was.  The neko had indeed managed to stretch his jaws impossibly wide.  She let go with a big grin and his jaws popped back into place.  He had expected soreness but there was none as he massaged his face to make sure it was ok.<br/><br/>"See, I told you it would work."<br/><br/>Duza realized he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.  "Yeah...yeah it did."
