Madeline took the plate with surprise, and stuttered out a quiet 'thank you' to Art before trying a bite... And quickly loving it, and eating more.
Dagger was less inviting to the idea of taking food from an unfamiliar person. He sniffed at that stake for almost a full minute, and even poked at it with his claw once, all while giving the offending foor a suspicious glare. But he eventually deemed it safe, and slammed his paw down on the edge of the plate so that the steak would flip up into the air, and caught the food in his mouth in midair. When Madeline saw that, it was her turn to roll her eyes. Dagger had always had a flair for dramatics, especially when it made him seem cool.
