[Dion's reasoning is two-fold. One, it's a relatively effortless way to give back to Joshua after all he's done. Moreover, it's a distraction from the horrors they've both experienced over the last few days. A touch of humor would go a long way to alleviate the tension within both of their minds.
So... he sets to diligently scooping away each carrot, setting it upon his own plate. Joshua will have more than one reason to be pleased about it. Not only will he be free of the pesky vegetable, but Dion will have yet more sustenance to enjoy.
As the last carrot is scooped up, Dion shoots a glance through his lashes up toward Joshua. The smile he offers should be teasing, but it feels softer and more tender at the edges than it rightly should.]
You are saved. [He turns away, spooning one of the carrots into his mouth.] And I am all the richer for it.
