Buying more just meant more money saved, so it wasn't going to be a big deal to make sure his caretaker could get enough food for him. She wasn't ever going to consider that he could probably eat freely if he was out at sea, though, he wasn't well enough for that.

She considers signing back to him, but she hasn't had the practice to be anything near smooth. She's more articulate with her words, so she prefers them. But maybe with all the time they're going to spend together, he could change that? She wants to work on trust, and proving she wants to help, so she decides to try to sign at him.

It's not the prettiest, but at least she gets her message across. She doesn't fumble any vocabulary, but she could do with some fluidity practice.

It's rare she gets to be so honest, though, so it's a foreign feeling.

Having you model here for me wasn't the only reason I was interested in you.
