Just Friends
'Why would you risk it? If a werewolf bite kills a vampire…why would you risk it?'
A straightforward question from a straightforward guy. Why did she risk it? Well, that's what friends did; didn't they? Friends risked their lives for friends. Simple…straightforward…no big deal.

'So does my mother,' he replies.
It was ridiculous. I mean, they were just friends. Friends hung out with friends without it being a whole weird dating thing. Simple…straightforward. It really was no big deal.

'Since when are they a thing?' Matt asks.
So he brought a date. So what? No big deal. After all, they were just friends and friends didn't always approve of other friends' choice in dates. That was all…no big deal.
