Dilanâs lips curved up ever so slightly despite herself as Eddie took a step back, offering up a sign of peace that the vampire couldnât help, but fine utterly amusing, even if she did try to hide it. âCanât I, though? I donât see the vending machine exactly trying to stop me,â She offered up with an eased shrug as she leaned her back against the side of the machine as she turned to face them. âAnd Iâve been in plenty of hostage situations too, Eduardo. Just because it is a lot more underwhelming, doesnât mean it doesnât fit under the definition,â She pointed out. Her eyes rolling over once more as the smallest of grins found its way to her lips. âFirst of all, it was a hypothetical question. Whereâs your imagination? And secondly, youâve probably got somewhat of a point there? But, then again, the sugar high always helped me somewhat null the cravings,â She explained away with another small shrug. âSo⊠you planning on getting a granola bar yourself or?â

âOh, so violence is a-okay if the victim doesnât defend themselves?â Eddie teases, raising his brows overdramatically feigning shock. He is usually not this playful but with Dilan... well, heâs known her for forever, and his boyish side slips out around her. âOf course, Ms. Kaplan. Whatever you say.â His eyeroll matches hers as she tries to logic her way out of this. Eddie crosses his arms, holding the cane by its mid-section. âUnfortunately, I had to sell my imagination to put myself through med school.â He replies dryly. When it comes to other peopleâs struggle, Eddie is quick to draw a line-- their pain is theirs, and he doesnât get to claim it as his as much as he is comfortable in his own misery. âWhile that makes sense... as a doctor I canât exactly recommend chasing the sugar high. Even if I bribe my patients with candies all the time.â He says as he produces a red lollipop from his front pocket. He somehow always has one of these on his person. âI was gonna get a bag of chip or something before you were being all menacing.â He replies, âso whatâs got you... well, low on blood sugar? Donât you have banks and bars for that?â
