Sally did a double take of the sight before her as she walked into the Collins estate. As soon as you entered you were greeted by the sight of Alessandra placing ointment on Edgar's chest. 'Don't they have other rooms to do this?' She thought.
"I'm going to have Alfred burn my shirt in case any of those bugs are in there. Please promise me you will not bring any of those into our home whenever I upset you. Try killing me instead."
"Edgar, please don't suggest such a thing to me. I promise I won't bring any of them into your home. I don't want my hand to be full of bites again. I'm finished," Alessandra looked around his body at the white patches of ointment placed all over his chest and back.
"If there are bites on my leg, will you let me take off my pants for you to place the ointment?" Edgar grinned, fully enjoying the annoyed look Alessandra gave him.
