Never one to back down from a challenge, Aves took the bite straight from his hand and chewed it with a poker face. Was it hot? YES! Was she going to show it? No. No she wasn't. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Decent flavor," she said, her voice barely betraying that she was having any difficulty. Jean was right. She was really bad at lying. Maybe he wouldn't notice, though?
