She sidled up to him , her gaze full of mock hurt .
Damon , how could you say that about me ? Dont I have any dignity ? You ? Dignity ! Dont make me laugh .
I cant believe how mean you are ! You think I care ? Eli silently observed the bickering pair , utterly bewildered .
Their dynamic was ... peculiar , to say the least .
