Dustin abruptly turns to face Thrawn, blinking owlishly while continuing to chew his food. This would normally be where he'd say something snarky or rude, and those thoughts do still cross his mind - defiance of politeness and apparent authority are staples of his personality, difficult to shake even with the mind-altering candy he's eaten. Instead, such impulses are simply redirected.

"Oh, get the stick out of your ass!" he laughs impishly. "Or, what - are you squeamish?"

Not waiting for an answer, Dustin decides to test his theory by sticking out his tongue with an exaggerated bleh, showing off the half-chewed food still on it.
