Link is so exhausted that he doesn't startle when Toriel speaks up out of nowhere. He looks up at her, his tired expression brightening a little. He looks at his tray after she mentions the vegetables. He blinks a few times, then looks back up at her.

"I am," he assures her. "I like vegetables." He doesn't seem to have gotten started on them yet, though. Actually, it appears he's going pretty slow on the whole eating thing. He's been sitting here for a little while now, and he's barely touched his food. He's certainly working on it, gradually carving a path through it.

If she examines Link himself more closely, she'll be able to notice he's sporting some new bruises and cuts, too. They're well on their way towards healing, but they're very much there.
