The waiter arrived pushing a cart of food settled on top. Its delicious aroma of spices encompassed the table making the infant's mouth water. She gave the adults a bowl of crossiants and soup and gave the infant a tiny bowl of mildly heated spaghetti.

Hisoka nodded in acknowledgement to the waiter for her to be dismissed then he began to unravel the utensils from the napkin.

Small chubby fingers dug into the spaghetti like playdoh and hurriedly shoved it into his mouth. Portions of food stuck on Gon's face as he feed himself. Hisoka observed and brought up his hand and used his thumb to wipe a little of Gon's face. The baby scrunched his nose from the action and backed his head away from the hand.

"You're going to turn him back." Illumi said more as a demand than a request.

"Hm? Yeah, sure.~♣" Hisoka waved off absentmindedly as he continued to watch Gon eat.

Gon noticed Hisoka staring at him so he grabbed more spaghetti and brought it close to Hisoka's face thinking that he wanted some.

"I don't need any Gon.~♠" The magician politely declined while shaking his head.

Gon's eyes turned glossy and the corners of his lips turned downwards as he still held the spaghetti for Hisoka. Bits of it were falling onto the floor and table as some of the noodles slipped through his fingers.

The boys expression strangely made Hisoka's heart sink. "Okay, you got me this time.~♠" Hisoka leaned forward and small hands messily tried to feed him. Hisoka's face was probably just as dirty as Gon's was right now.

Illumi watched the two intently.

-Perhaps I should get Hisoka to turn Killu into a.... No I shouldn't. Father will be furious if I did. However, it will make it so that Killu and I could bond more..-

Illumi abruptly stood up from his chair and reached into his pocket. He left the payment for the bill and tip on the table.

"My, you're going already?~♣" Hisoka said a bit surprised.

"I need to reflect." He said vaguely as he began to leave "Oh, and wipe your face." he commented pointing at his own face before exiting the restaurant.

Hisoka took the napkin and gingerly cleaned his face while eyeing the bowl of soup Illumi ordered that remained untouched.

"Why even order it?~♣" He questioned to himself.

Beside him Hisoka heard a giggle from Gon as he raised his bowl high in the air to show Hisoka that he finished it all. Hisoka grinned and ruffled the boys spiky hair in praise. "Good boy~♣" he cooed and in return the baby's smile stretched for ear to ear.

-Guess there is no point in staying here now.-

Hisoka placed a hand halfway in the air to summon a waiter.

"I'll take mine to go.~♠"

Killua bursts through the doors of Bastilë and looked around like a maniac. The waiter at the front desk was visibly uncomfortable as she fumbles the stack of menus in her hand.

"Um.. do you need help?" She asked hesitantly looking at the boy who's head was still turning every which way.

"Have you seen...a man and a baby that... was dressed like a lizard?!" Killua said out of breath as he bent down and placed his hands on his knees to regain composure.

He had ran from the docks to get here. It didn't help that the boat was late to leave because crew members were celebrating the captain's birthday.

The cake was good though.

She took her time to ponder the question until it hit her."Oh, yes! They left about two hours ago." She tilted her head in thought. "The hoodie looks like a dinosaur more than a lizard." She commented.

"Did you know where they went!?" Killua asked quickly with wide eyes.

"I-I don't know their life story sir." she answered nervously.

"Ugh!" Killua said tiredly as he exited the store in frustration."Where are you!" He yelled to no one in particular, but at the sky as if the universe was against him.
