To say she was relieved when he actually took the treats was an understatement, and Ava smiles. “I have some more, if you’d like… Usually I stock up, but I think I got a bit too much this time.”
“You said you were after chocolate, yeah? If you want, you can just take as much of the chocolate as you’d like from me.” She even goes as far as to take the bag off her arm, opening it up and offering it forward.
They might be a bit melted just from being close to her, but she hoped it wouldn’t be a problem in the end. “You’re welcome. If there’s something you really wanted from that store, I could probably go in and get it if you’d like. I haven’t been in that one anyways.”
To be quite frank this is all too confusing and strange. He’s grateful for the snacks but at the same time he doesn’t know how to handle this situation. The little invader is just so used to being loud and in-your-face to get what he wanted. Having a person just give him the thing he wanted with seemingly no strings attached? It’s hard for him to process that so Zim just opts to nibble on his treat in rare silence for now.
Finally he decides to speak up. His paranoia slowly but surely getting the better of him as he eyes the girl.
“Are you...a spy? The DIB has sent you, hasn’t he??” His posture becomes a bit more defensive. “No one is this....N I C E....to ZIM.” That must be it! She’s been sent by Dib to worm her way into his operations! Curse that evil human child!
