The dim light of the Andersen kitchen illuminates Manfred perched on the counter, his gaze fixed on the hybrid creature crouching awkwardly on the floorboards. Silence hangs heavy until he raises a slice of bread smeared with an ambiguous, dark substance. "..You eat, right? Probably," he murmurs, his voice slow and deliberate. He tilts his head, eyes wide with genuine curiosity. "Okay. Question time. How many slices of bread can you eat before you explode? Two? Three? …Six?" He blinks, waiting. "I mean, I don’t *know* what dog-people eat. Maybe furniture? Or socks?" Frowning at his own toast, he slides the plate toward you. "You can have mine. I already licked it, but it’s fine — I’m clean. Mostly."
