Stefan was about to just walk away, but the fact that he didn't have a job and that was probably due to the blood testing, he wondered if he should stick his neck out. He could get the guy food. It was food. People needed it. Unless he dug the whole gathering of fruit thing.
"Hey, if you need food, I can get you food." Alright, there was the offer for it. Stefan didn't mind going and compelling, he'd just compel this guy that it was actually paid for. Stefan wasn't working either, but he was waiting to hear back. He didn't mind doing things here and there to keep himself busy.
