Denise gave her roommate an appreciative half-smile before grabbing the burger and taking a bite. It was good. Even better than she was expecting. The poor girl was so used to satisfying her late-night cravings with shitty junk food that she'd almost forgotten how simple it was to cook up something fulfilling. Not that it was healthy by any means, but it was better than she was used to.

"Hm, this is good," she replied with a nod of approval as she covered her mouth with the back of her hand. Swallowing her first bite, she entertained Faye's idea about taking on Max.

"Honestly, I don't want to drag you into this. I mean, you have nothing to do with it and bringing you into my mess would be extremely selfish of me. He's a dangerous guy, Faye. I mean, Max is extremely unpredictable, and he would kill you in an instant if it meant he could prove a point against me. Not that I have any idea on how we'd get to that point, but nonetheless it's in his nature, that's just the way he is." 

Denise took another bite, contemplating her own words.

"I mean, I'm not dissuading you in any way, but I haven't seen him in quite some time. I don't know how powerful he could be," she shrugged, looking at her half-eaten burger.
