Anita dances around the subject, trying not to get on his bad side, always remembering that some day she may have to kill him for her safety. In a tight moment, he offers to feed her if needed and says it would be regular sex, as little blood as necessary. For Anita, Olaf would try to be normal, he admits.

Edward admits to have been contacted as Death to take out the Mother of Darkness and he turned down the contract. Yet Anita says she could never feed off Edward in any way because it would be like doing a family member. Edward acts a little like a boyfriend to her to keep Olaf at bay, since no one else that Anita dates or loves is dominant enough. The problems that he helps her range from her metaphysical issues to defending her from Olaf.
