Ezra's stomach tightens painfully, and the decision is made almost before he can think about it. Caution is one thing, but if he's really going to get food from this, he can wait a little longer before thinking about how he can escape. "I'll be good," he promises, using his best contrite little boy voice - the voice he uses when begging on the street. It's an easy promise to make, because it doesn't say what he'll be good at, and people never think about that, they just hear what they want to hear.
But in this case, he really will behave if Garth'zel lets go of him. At least for now. And maybe Garth'zel can see that in his eyes, hunger clouding his judgment and fear. He doesn't even ask if he gets to choose what he wants. At this point he'll eat anything.
