[But a little bit funny - enough so that he smiles without meaning to.]
[He blinks again at the fork hanging over the table. Why isn't Joseph eating that? Why is he just waggling it around like - oh. Caesar looks from the fork to Joseph to the fork again, suspecting a trap. Eventually he does go for it, though, only to be totally foiled when Joseph moves the fork away. Heat rises in his cheeks, and ordinarily this is when he'd back off and start giving Joseph the silent treatment, but this time he stubbornly persists until the fork stills.]
[At which point, not only does Caesar take the bite, but he wrenches the fork out of Joseph's grip with his teeth triumphantly. Leaning back across the table, he tips his chin up and pulls the fork out of his mouth, pointing it at Joseph in a silent taunt as he chews and swallows and trying very hard to ignore the fact that he's still a little red in the face.]
