They're served while Five is still squinting at him, and he waits and watches as he takes his first bite. No caution whatsoever, as expected. Then he frowns and shifts at the sudden personal question, which is a tell in itself. He doesn't like to be called out, even when he's aware that he was a prime target for reasons other than what he guesses.

"You think I was possessed because I was lonely?" Five takes offense that he's still being affected by anything but poison. The cold hasn't fully left him, but that's completely besides the point.
