The tone alone was enough to bring a smile to the kid’s face. He did, after all, like the idea of making people proud of him. It was something that he’d never really done before, so it was a new feeling. He just might not have been able to figure out how to express that himself yet…

The comment about his grumbly stomach gets an awkward little tilt of his head as he pulled the brim of his hat down even further. “Yeah, I guess it is. I kinda forgot to go back for more.” And the boy was still getting used to the fact that he had good, fresh food so readily available to him compared to his world. It was easy to forget that he could just seek someone out or run inside and grab some leftovers until he was actually in the apartment. But the offer is definitely welcome, “Okay! Thanks Mr. Ignis.”
