Yashoku chuckles a little hearing Alger explain himself.  "Don't worry about it.  You will find that I am a lot more understanding then most humans, esspecially when it comes to eating habits."  He sees him heading towards some other people so he follows him and sits down.  "Hey there." he says to them.  He puts the bowl down with his left hand and then gets out some 8 inch long steel needles.  "Itadakimasu!"  He then uses the needles like chopsticks and grabs one of the 2.5 inch long squids.  He does a quick swirl and wraps the squid's legs around the sticks.  He then pops it into his mouth and swallows it whole.  He smiles some as he feels it wriggle down his throat.  He then realizes that even if he was really hungry he was being a little rude to other people to just sit down and not say a thing.  He looks up at the other people to see if he made anyone mad by just jumping into his meal.
