[ he's almost surprise she offers him the basket, but mal takes it when she does because he's true to his word and the offers he makes. plus, there's food in it so he's not about to miss a chance to look over and perhaps judge her choices.
he's got a few stashes of food hidden away already, nothing perishable, and all of this looks good but wouldn't be something he adds to the hoards.
if she can tell he's judging, well, he offers a nod of approval after a moment. ] I wasn't going to ask for compensation but since you offered... [ he grins, perhaps a little cheeky about it. ] I won't say no to breakfasst.
I'm more used to a bartering system. We'll call it a trade.
[She likes his smile, she finds herself realizing a little abruptly, and before it's something she's entirely aware of she's giving him one in return. Hers isn't cheeky at all, more subdued and small but warm all the same, and she waves one of the swords at him to motion for him to follow her.]

not because ravka doesn't have currency but because meager army wages don't get one very far. ] I can wait. [ he shrugs a shoulder, but he is still curious about what food she's got. ] I could always eat but I'm used to waiting to eat too.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to eat first.

She takes a seat first, setting the weapons aside as she settles down onto the soft grass rather than the stone, and motions for him to sit across from her and to hopefully put the basket down between them.]
It's light, but we can go and get more later.
[In the basket he'll find two thick, dense loaves of bread, more than enough fruit for two people, and a giant hunk of cheese that she's fairly sure she can cut at least vaguely into two equal halves.]
