The tone of her voice startled him. Holding up his hand, he stayed her apology. "It is magic and not a stupid trick. Where I'm from powers like yours are a gift..sometimes a curse but if we see the good in it, a blessing." he told her. "I meant nothing by it." he said, his own tone apologetic and meant to put her at ease.
"Codo and Podo are always hungry." he said, grinning. "They're scavengers." he said before looking to where she's pointed. "If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate it. I know Codo and Podo would." he said, returning her smile. "I will stay long enough to eat and then be on my way. I wouldn't want to overstay a welcome." he said and nodded slightly.
