[Dave considers that pseudo-optimism, picks up his hot chocolate for a long sip, puts it back down, and then cozies up to Meridiana even more adhesively, wrapping both arms around her middle so she can use both hands, not unlike how she held him earlier.
He's still chewing the money question over, why it bothers him so much. And he thinks he knows: the fifth week, when the provisions they'd relied on had been poisoned and taken away so easily, because they had no control over it. And further back, Bro and their kitchen full of lethal weaponry and not much else, the years he'd learned to 'forget' food around his room so he could always find something to snack on, just in case.
Greed and control. Maybe Meridiana already made that connection. She knows him well enough. Dave rests his cheek on her crown and sighs a little.]
If this is distracting, elbow me in the pancreas. I'm just trying to prepare my body to get read like hell all over again.
