She can see exactly what he's doing, as soon as he does it, and part of her wants to get up right then and there. But he's otherwise being...well, not nearly as much of a creep as he has been in the past. Which doesn't mean much when everything he does is suspect, but it seems more like he's trying to be nice than anything.

Which could just be some other ploy in some elaborate way to get whatever it is he wants from her, but people who want things don't usually make elaborate plans, in her experience. They just take.

And anyway, she has a knife, which takes some of the bite out of her but is this some kind of trick wondering. Even if it is, she has a solution to the whole mess, right at her waist.

"I hate eating horse," she tells him, which isn't a lie, even if it's not the reason she's telling him no. "But it tastes okay. You should try it."
