[ Dylan starts to laugh, and feels his anxiety melt away. This was... so wonderful and comfortable. He thinks about maybe someday reaching his level of comfort with Hunter, to know his ins and outs the way Venom knows Eddie's, to banter with him so casually about anything like this.

The thought makes him feel... so warm. And the fluttering is back in his stomach, but its... it's not as scary as it was before. He closes his eyes, listening to them banter over the sound of the pond lapping at the shore. ]

I don't think I'll eat him. I'll have means and motive, no jury would acquit.

[ He lets himself tip to the side, leaning heavily into Eddie, resting his head on Eddie's arm. ]

Thanks, though. For the pep talk. It'd be... nice to have what you two have.
