The juice is enough to prove this is real, that there really is going to be food, to get Ezra to sit down after a few thirsty gulps. And it tastes so good, still cool from storage and not spoiled at all, and there's nobody's spit in it, that he can't help but savor every swallow he takes. Which is just as well, because otherwise he would have finished it off completely before Garth'zel could come back with that sandwich.
Hopefully Garth'zel's definition of being good doesn't extend to table manners. If so, Ezra's going to fail miserably as he practically shoves the sandwich into his mouth, taking as big a bite as he can - like he's learned to be afraid of people taking his food, so he has to claim as much as he can as fast as possible. Or maybe like he was on the verge of starving. Both are equally true.
