Howard politely doesn't look. Doesn't matter that they're dating. There are times for being salacious and after a scare like that is not them. He pets Sushi instead.

Once Cedric's dressed, Howard raises his gaze and stares at Cedric. "Don't ever do that to me again. The disappearing thing." His voice is cold and steady, but his face betrays a certain amount of shame that Cedric saw him panic that quickly over it. Shame and a bit of anger.

He drops his stare back down to the cats, although he finds he no longer wishes to pet them.
