But she's new here, so admittedly everything is a little weird for her right now, and he'll give her a tiny bit of leniency. Tiny bit.

Or lost, depending on how you look at it, because now I'm like burdened with the memory of having to eat my best friend for survival."
His eyes are appropriately downcast in a somber moment, but he peeks over at her for her reaction. "Who else were you expecting, huh?"
