Merlin's eyes widened at the avian's explanation. Last week?? Did the creature not know how to care for itself? Based on his gaunt frame, it was an easy conclusion to come to. Perhaps that was part of his binding? But no.. he was sure he'd seen flashes of gold on his face; the sign of a freed Torque.
Perhaps old habits were hard to break?
When Rasha so dismissively bade his farewells, Merlin's jaw was still slightly agape. The Avington hesitated for a long moment before shaking himself out of his stupor and speaking up. "As if you could be trusted to put a decent meal in you, with how nonchalant you are about eating as is." Such a fascinating creature; Merlin found himself not wanting the strange biped to take his leave of him just yet.
"I was actually planning to cook tonight. You look as if you need a home cooked meal."

The sudden mothering in Merlin's tone was both unexpected and amusing. A dry chuckle echoed in the man's mind. "Do not worry on my behalf. I am better off than I may seem. Your concern is touching, however. If you are willing to offer such kindness to a stranger then I doubt you will be anything short of a compassionate mother."
He considered the offer for another moment, weighing his options. He likely wouldn't find as convenient a means of acquiring food as the Avington currently offered him. He ate very little, and so he doubted that his company would be any great burden to the man's stores. And the conversation would doubtless be more interesting than not. He saw enough of people after their lives had been lived. It would be pleasant to watch one man living it for once, and not just at a lance on the street.
"If it does not inconvenience you overmuch, I would be honored to share a meal with you. My conversation may be lacking, however. I am not well versed in current events."

((*headtilt* Would you be willing to close this with the assumption that they had an odd but pleasant meal and Merlin came out of the whole thing mildly confused? xD))
