The person directly before Renathan, the little avian, seemed a lot more perturbed by the wait than he had been. Perhaps it was the chaos in the nearby waiting room- there were so many people sitting in there now, people that had before been in the line that was now quite well whittled down. Renathan himself went from 'oh I cannot wait to sit down!' to 'oh no, I don't want to have to sit between two people too closely with their rambunctious animals'. He grimaced beneath his facial mask, quite happy to have it on his face to hide his expression. It would make Kotori much worse if other orbaru that he wasn't used to bothered him, especially since he was holding onto the only familiar orbaru around (Damsel, of course) so tightly. This was going to be a mess, he knew it. He did watch one person get taken to the back to a room in the time it took for him to move through the line- but that was very little of a balm for the metaphorical wound. There were still over twenty people milling about in the waiting room. Renathan tended to not be overly anxious, but even he didn't feel comfortable with it.

Renathan tried his hardest to maintain his usual demeanor as he waited for the little avian to finish their paperwork. He was starting to get a little bit anxious now, and he knew that Kotori was a little bit on the sensitive side so he was worried that any odd movements would tip the creature off into also being super anxious again like before. He had to control his own reactions as well as he could to keep a bad situation from getting worse. Finally, the little avian went to go to the waiting room, and Renathan was up at the front. No one had entered the line behind Renathan, thankfully, so he felt quite at ease to take a little bit of extra time to try to avoid going into that over crowded waiting room. There were a few different chairs out near the line, but generally people were not allowed to use those if there was a large amount of business, to keep people from having their pets running around all willy nilly in the line and disrupting the chain. Still, right now... He wondered if he might be able to ask for permission to use them, to keep Kotori as calm as he possibly could.

As Renathan worked on the paperwork (having situated both Kotori and Damsel over to where he could hold them with one arm and thus free his other arm to be able to write properly) he smiled beneath his mask as he heard the attendant tsking beneath their breath. "You've got a very anxious boy there, don'tcha?" The person asks him. Renathan nods as he gets towards the bottom of the page he is working on and then turns the page over quickly. He responded as soon as he was able to make sure that the page he was working on wouldn't be poorly affected by him being distracted by the conversation. "Yeah, this is Kotori. I don't usually drop by the center during peak business, so I wasn't expecting all of this." He kept working, and made it through that page quite quickly. The individual humms at him in response and then someone walked past them (presumably a center worker going past to go get someone from the waiting room) and the individual speaks again. "You can sit out here if you wish. The rush usually ends about now."
Renathan nods and makes sure to let them know that he's very grateful!

"Thank you very much!" He exclaims. "Kotori, tell her thank you." He said, looking down at the little creature and gently moving his arm to get the orbaru to look up. He does look up, but of course he is an orbaru. The person at the desk seems quite amused by his cute antics as he snuggles back into Damsel's shoulders. "They're fast friends." He says, as he finally finishes the paperwork. He moves to go sit down after his paperwork was accepted, and scarcely does he get sat down before he decides to make the best of the situation and let the two orbaru sit in his lap instead of being held. Both of them looked like they had been getting uncomfortable anyway, being held like they were. He gives both of them a quick pat before he reaches into his pouch for the berry that he was going to feed them. They looked like they were going to be good enough friends that he wasn't worried about wasting the berry. "Here you both go." He says, offering the pastel round baby berry to the both of them to share as soon as he pulls it free from his waist satchel.

Most of the orbaru would share. Some would be a little bit funkier than others about it; and some had to be prompted to share. However these two were like two peas in a pod. It almost made Renathan feel a little bad about his intentions to breed Kotori to other females after watching the two of them become very fast and thick friends. Both of them approached the berry, and each of them waited for the other one to take it first. Renathan simply sat there and waited to see what would happen. Finally, Damsel decides to take the little berry in her own paws, and then nudge it over to Kotori instead of taking the first bite herself. This seemed to decide the issue, as the both of them took bites of the pastel colored berry quite close to one another's attempts. It was quite cute, and they nuzzled each other's cheeks together as they nibbled the berry. Renathan was sure to splay out the little bag that it came in on his lap to keep the juice from getting all over him. It takes the pair quite a while to eat their berry, and by the time they are done Renathan was being asked to follow an assistant back to a prepared room for them.

Renathan had no idea where the time had gone!? Perhaps he had fallen asleep! It was an unfortunate thought, because he hadn't even noticed it himself. It was much quieter outside of the waiting room where he had been sitting, so perhaps the very muffled noises of everyone hushedly speaking in that room had lulled him right to sleep! He hoped the orbaru hadn't bred or anything while he was asleep. He didn't feel like they had moved out of his lap at all, so perhaps they really had been eating the berry the whole time. He looked sheepish as he stepped into the breeding room that had been prepared for them and the attendant simply moved through the door- probably to go clean other rooms since the place had been so busy that day! Renathan puts the orbaru down on the carpet near the toys, and for the next hour he watched them run around and play all kinds of games. Kotori seemed to be much more calm now, and Damsel really seemed to enjoy his company. Before Renathan knew it, that tell-tale flash sounded off and he had to go scoop up the orbaru to bring them home. At least they seemed to get along!
