[Ezra considers that first remark warily, wondering how deeply he should read into it. If Dezel's angle is to make sure Ezra's got someone to look after him, he needs to end that train of thought here and now. The last thing he needs in this place is a babysitter.]
I can take care of myself.
[To emphasize that statement, he finishes his cookies, then pointedly doesn't reach for the bags of treats again. No need to give the seraph the impression that he's starving, unable to feed himself.
But this conversation is getting dangerous in other ways, too. Ezra doesn't fall into most of those criminal categories Dezel just listed off, but he's been a pickpocket and thief in the past. Hasn't had to resort to it in a while, outside of missions against the Empire, and the pettier instances have been discouraged ever since he joined the Ghost crew, but he can't promise himself he won't have to use those talents again.
That means he could very well end up at odds with a man like this.]
What did you used to do before?
[Just a little fishing before he cuts this short. Always a good idea to know as much as you can about the people you might have to deal with.]
