Herbert came back downstairs a few minutes later, dressed but not still not too awake.

"There you are," *he said.*
"Do sit down, I've gotten everything ready."

*He spooned some lo mein onto his plate.*
"Do try the chicken- I ordered it especially without garlic-"

He glanced around, looking for a fork.

"Oh, you use these," *Aziraphale said, holding up his chopsticks. He demonstrated how to use them by stealing a water chestnut from Herbert's plate.*
"It's terribly simple."

*Aziraphale smiled guiltily.*
"But you see how to use them?"

"No, no, you do it like this," *he said, demonstrating how to hold them. He tutted, and got up, taking Herbert's hand in his own and manipulating his fingers until he was holding them correctly.*
"You see?"

Herbert pulled over a carton of steam buns and tried for a good twenty seconds or so to extract one with the chopsticks, before he groaned and stabbed it instead, then plucked it from the end and ate it with his fingers.

*Aziraphale laughed and shook his head. With a grin, he picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks and offered it to Herbert.*

"Thank you, darling," Herbert said gratefully before taking a bite from the proffered dumpling.

"You're very welcome," *Aziraphale said with a smile, and finished the other half of the dumpling.*
"If you really need a fork, I'll get one," *he said reluctantly. These things should be done properly, after all.*
