[...He gives a glance around at his options. Limited. He could also just, eat somewhere else. But he's already been sneaking out pass curfew. And since this is the designated place to eat, he will...just comply. A quiet sigh as he sets his tray down across from her, proceeding to sit. He's here, because she is familiar and nothing else.
And if she's expecting a riveting conversation with him, she will be greatly disappointed. His focus is on the clearly very interesting meal before him. Hamburger. This was one of Maria's favorite apparently. And then there were fries, and something called coleslaw? ...He's never eaten any of these things, just seen them on the television or learned through Maria.

It has it's perks, but he knows how unnatural it looks for others if he didn't eat. So he will have to eat the meal before him. At least he's curious enough, since the humans find these kinds of food enjoyable. It has an alluring smell at least. He'll pick up the burger first, feeling the heat come through his gloves. Soft, kind of squishy in his hands. He watched enough to at least know how to hold it and after a sniff, takes a bite.
