The orphans are amped and ready to dig in, Scopia understands their feeling as they have been starved in Neverland. Evetta tries to tip toe her fingers across the table reaching for the cake first but Scopia still tries to instill table manners, as she cant bear watching them do their thing.

We can see him trying to get Ajax's attention to start banging on the table, and with Ajax not having the ability to think for himself and his love to follow orders he concurs
