"Yeah, I've been feeling really jumpy and paranoid this month, myself. I don't know if it's because of a messed up thing this month, or if it's left over feelings from last month."

After everything that happened last month it's not like he can expect to get over the fear right away, after all. It's difficult to distinguish paranoia from knowing he could be taken away to a tower of blood and human sacrifice at any moment from the paranoid feeling of being hunted by the other blood types, particularly darkbloods. But it's probably best to not focus on that right then. After all, right now the main concern was food.

"I don't know, do we have rice? Maybe something with rice if we have it."
