Give him a minute to let that sink in and maybe wonder if Karan is pulling his plonker.
"I don't eat it," he protests, somewhat feebly and just to be contrary. That's not how it works...

"That's against the rules." Not strictly true. Abe has pounded it into him to replenish after a task is fulfilled. Must be done. Rule number one. Prime Directive. And all that.
