"Given, erm, sufficient motivation." It's a bluff at the moment - he does think he could manage another round, but not more. But even if it comes to nothing, just being in the company of someone else is rather satisfying.
"I could probably down another meal, too," he admits, "but it's not a dire emergency. I received my fair share of bread and water before you found me."
Not much more, but supper tonight made a dent in that ever-gnawing hunger that comes of being young, tall, and penniless. And he's still conscious of the fact that any money spent on him isn't really earned, at this point.
