Ignoring the glare, he continued, "At least you could have just knocked it off my hands if you were so persistent on being the hero. But it's not like I wasn’t aware."
"What do you mean?" she inquired, her face perplexed.
Pointing to his eyes for emphasis. "Nothing ever misses these eyes. I knew it was poisoned, but I was still going to drink it; it couldn't hurt me." a proud smile on his face.
A surprised expression took over her face before she said, "You never know what new poison has been created to harm you."
His lips curled up. "Are you offering yourself as the poison? Because I would definitely take all of it."
