Melanie grinned like she knew a private joke that no one else had heard before. She had heard this much from her overly healthy father and was halfway tempted to roll her eyes, but stopped herself. "Here, then." she said with finality, picking up a hard boiled egg Ick and eating it. Melanie smiled, a satisfied look on her face. "See protein."

Melanie laughed at her friend's next comment. "Just everything... with all these people there seems to be a lot of it." she said, carefully choosing her words. "Please don't hex anyone." she said with a teasing grin.
