[This girl's an innocent. This girl hasn't even seen rabbits die before, has a little pet rabbit of her own, and if she had a pet rabbit then of course she'd be upset seeing skinned rabbits, being butchered for food. Edward listens to her, and thinks about Jenny, who he never wanted to expose to the sort of life he'd led.
He nods, a little.]
No, of course you're not stupid. I understand, it's—hard, to see something like that, especially when you've a pet of your own of the same species. [He huffs out a breath.] I can't say you won't see roast rabbit at the feat, because we do need the meat, [and honestly he's looking forward to eating some,] but. There's got to be something else you can do to help, in the meantime, that doesn't involve butchering rabbits.
[Hang on, he's thinking, he's thinking...]
Decorations, perhaps? To make any newcomers feel more at ease.
