You shouldn't be eating anything less than what you need, though.
[ It's not about being greedy, when it comes to a girl like Konoha. She's made bigger than other people, and if she doesn't eat what's proper for her body, it'll start breaking down. While he wouldn't think of her as a burden, per se, he doesn't want to give Karterians any reason to take a look at her ( or any of them ) and see them as one. He runs a hand through his dark curls, jaw shifting to the side as he thinks; pensive, and wondering.]
— I could get you more, if you want. I used to hunt and gather as a kid — a bear might be enough to feed you for a while.
[ Hilariously, he makes the same offer she does, at the same time. Their cross-communication overlaps one another briefly: I can make you something homey, bursting through in rich sentiment. Ace can't help but color briefly, turning red around his own freckled cheeks at the idea that Konoha would look out for him like that. After all, he's been the big brother to his sibling(s) for longer than he's allowed anyone to care for him, in turn. Marco, maybe. But Marco wasn't to be resisted, only endured. ]
I'm not partial to anything, promise. My crew and I sailed to thousands of islands with thousands of different food styles — our cook, rest his soul, was great at making anything out of anything. It's more that... it doesn't taste like food anymore to me.
