That, at least, Al waved away with a bright smile and good nature. He really didn't mind the expense, and he shouldn't have said anything to make Edmund think that he had. Even as a joke! Besides, he was just going to stick Ling with the bill later, see how he liked it.
He was still preoccupied, a little, as he set down his share of the plates on the small table in the room, resuming his seat and nudging most of the food toward Edmund. There was fruit juice, too, some sort of sweet-tart-red syrup that Al poured them each a glass of over ice. Very refreshing when you were out wandering the desert -- which apparently, Edmund wasn't! Brood, brood brood.
"Please don't worry yourself. It's no trouble at all, and we'll figure out how to get you home very soon, I'm sure."
