Riddle 036: What is it that nobody wants to have, yet nobody wants to lose?

[puzzlerprince]

[A - ACTION - Hospital.

On an ordinary day, during an ordinary visit to the hospital (perhaps to see Ema), the Riddler winds up running into another familiar face. But there's something quite different about him today.

Uhm... our baby teeth?

[puzzlerprince]

Hey!

I'm just not good at Riddles, okay!?

... and Math.

Just give me a hint or tell me what you're trying to say!

[puzzlerprince]

And I ain't some kind of cannibal dude. But I do bite.

[puzzlerprince]

I'm sure you could. [Seriously, Edward, stop encouraging people to fight you all the time.] But not in my arena.

[jaws5sonofjaws]

And the hell kind of arena you got?
