Ezra eyes Garth'zel, faced again with the question of how honest he wants to be about his parents. Why does he even want to know? And what kind of trouble will it get Ezra in if he answers?
Ezra can't come up with an answer to either question that he likes, so he bluffs. "I'm not alone. I told you. Mom an' dad are working." Subtly (or at least he thinks he's being subtle) he picks off part of his sandwich before sneaking it under the table. Even as hungry as he is, he knows he should save some of this sandwich for later. Just like the way his luck has been rotten all this week, he doesn't know when he'll get his hands on more food. Whatever he can stuff in his pockets will hopefully keep him going until his luck turns again.
"They know I'm big enough to look after myself until they get home," he adds, puffing himself up for a touch of authenticity.
