The prompt for this chapter is:"I love pumpkin! How about you?"
She asks him if he likes pumpkin flavored things, as she unwraps a warm pumpkin muffin of some kind. He doesn't eat human food unless it's necessary. He hasn't intentionally sought human food in decades.
"I'm not sure." He answers, and she offers a warm muffin. He takes it, because it's Elena and she's persistent when she wants to be. It's best for him to just take it already. He takes a hesitant bite and swallows before he confirms that he does, at least he likes her homemade pumpkin muffins.
Her smile is so bright that he unconsciously takes another bite.
