Alexis was not prone to spending too much time at the Bells' household. Yes, plenty of its denizens had briefly seen them at almost their weakest, effectively incapable of defending themself; nobody had taken advantage of it then, and they weren't so fool as to hang around for long enough periods these days that someone would get the idea. Someone inevitably would. That was only how it went; the world thought they'd be better off dead.

But they were tired of being safe, and it grated on their half-existent nerves, and people there would not form any particular plans of vengeance if Alexis just used their fridge as if it was also theirs.

Food, as it had long been, was their greatest motivator. Had someone probably been planning to eat this? Yes. Were they going to get the chance? Not unless they walked in right this moment and grabbed it out from Alexis' hands, and if anything was prone to making them bite reflexively it was people and food, so it was a poor option for anyone involved.
