Dimitri nodded with satisfaction as he set the platter of lamb chops in the center of the patio table. He felt Regis begin to climb over his shoulder in an attempt to reach the meat, but this charade was quickly put to an end by Dimitri snapping his teeth together loudly near the reptile, "[b]Try it and those lamb chops won't be the only thing bitten into today.[/b]" he stated sternly. The words were lost on Regis, but the animalistic action of snapping jaws told him all he needed to understand that the food set out was not meant for him. Regis slithered back and climbed down Dimitri's back almost dejectedly before curling up under the table to rest in the shade. Dimitri rolled his eyes at his pet's antics before taking a seat and staring at Kassy silently.

He intentionally allowed the silence to hang in the air to the point of awkwardness before darting his hand out and pulling a lambchop onto his plate with a thin smirk, hoping the sudden action would startle Kassy. It rarely did these days, but on the few occasions it worked Dimitri found it genuinely amusing to watch her jump. Dimitri began ladling a bit of salad onto his plate with his fork, "[b]You should've let that guy splat on the pavement y'know. Wouldn't have killed him, cripple? Maybe. Scar? Definitely. But kill? Nah, I don't see it.[/b]".
