[Lehko is of course following Francel, not too terribly closely, but still closer than what's strictly necessary.
The decision is made, even before Francel mentions the fish. With how Lehko made his way over, eyes peeled as he looked over each piece of food brought out of the bag like a man who hadn't known the pleasure of food in weeks might have. The moment the dried fish was placed, his eyes didn't leave it, and he nearly looks as though it's taking every vestige of his strength to afford the self control to not just snatch it.
That is, until Francel mentions the fish specifically. That's when he strikes. Grabbing it with the swiftness and deftness you'd expect from an experienced thief or pickpocket, pivoting away as he gorges himself on it. Honestly, the whole display would suggest he hasn't eaten in more than merely a few hours, which speaks more of his greediness with food, than the actual state of his hunger.
What can he say, really? He's rather used to a better abundance of food than what's here, and even if he's not exactly been forced to go hungry for long, it's still not quite the same luxury!]
