One could almost see the little question marks appear over the young man's head.

? - He knows my name?
?? - He forgot about that time I broke into the castle?
??? - He is inviting me to stay with him?!

Well that last part was alright wasn't it? Maybe he could get himself some food out of this deal!

"Ah, yeah, I'll stay with you for a while... as long as you have enough food to go around."
