When the food came, Avi watched Scott in amusement as he tried to eat with his non-dominant hand.

Mitch was distracted with a conversation he was having with Kevin, or he would've gladly tried to help.

Scott, being Scott, refused to ask him for any assistance. So he just sat and struggled for a bit, until Kirstie finally took pity on him and scooted her chair a little closer to help him out, as she'd been right beside him at the head of the table.

She gave him a sympathetic smile, and took his fork from him carefully, before helping him eat the mess of food on his plate.

Scott pouted, but let her feed him. "I'm sorry."

"No need. I don't mind at all." Kirstie grinned, feeding him another forkful.

Avi continued to watch them for a minute, and then turned to his left to see how Alex was doing.

Mitch finally turned to Scott, because they were sharing a dinner, and he frowned. "Alpha? Are you okay?"

Scott nodded, but didn't answer because his mouth was full.

Kirstie did the honors instead. "He seems to be having a little trouble operating his left hand well enough to eat, so I'm just helping."

Mitch didn't really mind, he was just worried, and he turned back to Scott. "Does your hand hurt really bad?"

"Not really."

Mitch tilted his head with an eyebrow raised, not believing him for a second. "Are you sure?"

Scott looked down at him with a frown. "Yes, I'm sure."

Kevin now found himself in a small argument with Todrick, about something related to science.

Todrick looked over at him in disbelief. "Are you kidding? Of course it's not. It's the mollusk."

"I know that. All I was asking was how old the thing was until it was killed."

"And I told you 600 years."

"It's not 600 years, Todrick."

"Yes it is."

"It can't be. It has to be closer to 400."

"No."

Kevin huffed. "Yes, it is. 407, is my guess."

Jake glanced up at them, the entire table now silent because no one had ever heard them argue.

Jake cleared his throat, deciding to be the brave one. "What exactly... Are you arguing about?"

Kevin spoke first. "The oldest known creature was a mollusk. It was 407 years old until scientists killed it by mistake."

Todrick was still eating, and he shook his head slowly. "It was older than 407."

Scott started with a chuckle, and then all of a sudden he was nearly falling out of his chair laughing, having to grab Mitch's shoulder to be sure he wouldn't lay himself out on the floor.

Avi raised an eyebrow at him. "Alright Scott. You have everyone's attention. Go ahead and share."

Scott set a hand on his stomach, hurting from laughing so hard. "I actually know the answer to that debate, and the good news is; you're both wrong."
