[ There's a question in her eyes when he abruptly stands up without a word, but it's answered as soon as he picks up the bucket of toads. Her self-satisfied smile comes right back as he sits down again. Ah, so that's his angle.

As Darin issues his challenge, Zelda simply smiles back at him in a manner that invokes the image of a cat with cream. If he is trying to guilt trip her, he is going to have to try a lot harder.
