[The dark tone he amends Apollo's comment with says plainly enough that "fine" is not a word he's letting anywhere near this situation. He's been abducted, and not even by, like, normal kidnappers or child slavers or whatever. This is like being in some psycho horror movie Hitomiko wouldn't let him watch before bed.
But having someone to talk to has actually calmed him down a little, so he doesn't snap at the guy, turning to stare off across the warehouse instead.]
Food would've been nice, though. I'd probably have enough for that if my team hadn't sucked at the last game.
[He huffs a little there, bitter but safe from panic for now. He can remember going without food before, the week his father had started coming back from his job-hunts without groceries. That had been right before he'd been left at the orphanage -- it felt terrible, but you didn't die or anything from missing meals for a few days.]
