of course, maybe it’s just her this time, and he’s just lost. she picks up a stapler and, as daintily as one might possibly attempt, takes a bite. good fortune greets her this time; she bites into a surprisingly well-disguised milk chocolate with a solid dark chocolate center.
‘i suppose this is about as close as one might get to russian roulette with candy, though you’re only betting a tooth in the process. at least we’ve all plenty of those to spare, yes?’

finally he takes a bite, a clang as he did indeed, just bite into a real
plate. a small sigh escapes him as he slowly sets the plate back
on the table, counting himself lucky that he did not bite down as hard
