It's the fact that the boy looks like he could be a week out from death that keeps him from raising a fuss about the pilfered food. He sets down the bowl he'd been stirring up; the contents could stand to sit a little bit.
"I don't know how they don't notice you." But the boy hadn't been noticed until just now, so what does that say about Malcolm?
The reaction to being recognized as one of the few Seekers is...unfortunate, but he chooses not to comment on it. He's gotten the full gamut in his time, knows that his order isn't seen kindly by many.
"There's usually enough to go around." A frown, a thoughtful squint. They don't chase him out because they don't notice him, which means he's just taking it. "You don't have to be so sneaky about it. You can always ask. Did you just get here? You look as though you haven't eaten in ages."
