"Why are you dodging me?" Alissa asked softly, her voice tinged with sadness. She looked as if she had been deeply wronged, like a child pushed away without understanding why.
Grey let out a quiet sigh and shook his head. "You are not yourself right now, Alissa. Pull yourself together."
"Here." He took out a candy bar and held it out to her. "Chocolate helps stabilize your emotions. It will make you calmer."

They were creatures ruled by instinct and emotion.
Absolutely outrageous in their behavior, and just as outrageous in their demands.
Just mere talking could not make her calm down, he had to distract her.
