[It's on the tip of his tongue, to snap back that of course he fed Flug, had to keep him from starving! He almost spills that it's been quite a bit longer than a mere two days, but catches himself, turning instead to the lifeline Flug has unintentionally given him (or so he sees it.)]

And if it had been longer? I returned to you slumped against the door; would you rather I left your body to slowly waste away with no knowledge of when you might come back to take care of matters yourself?!

[Have a little more faith in Black Hat, Flug. He knows humans can go some time without food - that's why he's been doing this for more than two days. In fact, he's been doing it near on a week now, barring the interval in Fairwell. And that alone means Flug had gone without a meal for more than two days - Black Hat hadn't been around for almost four!]

But if you insist, next time I won't be so generous!
