[Now that she's freed her teeth from his flesh, he outright yanks his arm away and holds it close, looking at her like he doesn't believe her at all.]
... If you are lying to me, there's nothing I can do for you. You know that, don't you? I do not have an antidote for my toxins, an antidote doesn't exist.
[He opens his mouth to say something - but seems to think better of it, snapping it shut again and looking away. And for a moment, he sits and thinks, sucking on his teeth as he mulls over something.]
... Perhaps I ought to have figured it would be thanks to him. Vengeance is a dish best served cold, after all... And via a third party, apparently.
Well. Do you feel better, now? Having bitten someone who was simply minding their own business, purely because someone told you that you should?
We were talking about juggling being hard to learn and that maybe we should ask someone who knows how. He said he knew someone but didn’t want to talk to them.
Right. Of course. My mistake. You offered to bite me, and he said yes. Instead of doing the more logical thing, which would be to have me answer your burning questions about juggling. Right.
I don't understand at all, actually, but less due to it being incomprehensible, and more due to it being a few levels below me in intelligence. Which is natural for him, so I'm unsure why I'm surprised.
[He was trying to keep himself from getting stinky about Chipp... but honestly, he can't help but feel this woman probably hates him already anyway thanks to Chipp. So he may as well speak his mind, right?]

[What a strange person.]

[Looking at her up and down... if it was going to affect her, it would have by now. So maybe she's telling the truth?
Which means she isn't someone who's insane and biting people because, y'know, insane. So that makes it all the more confusing.]
... May I ask why you've bitten me like this?

[Normal friend things.]

Yes! Oryou is a very helpful friend.

You realize he likely had you do this because he thinks it's funny, right?
He likely didn't need help at all, but simply wanted you to annoy me in his stead.

[It's half muttered with an eyeroll, shaking his head as he looks away. But after a second, he looks at her again.]
Fine, then. You got your bite. He'll think it's hilarious.
But...
How did the topic of biting me come up as you two spoke about juggling?

[LOOKING UP AT THE SKY. As if he's hoping something would swoop down and just take him away, almost.]
And so... he asked you to bite me? Not to ask how to juggle, but to bite me?
no subject
[Very important distinction.]

Right.
