Link's eyes immediately grow wide at the abundance of food Hyth sets before him. Link had, indeed, assumed that the stunningly tall man had simply moved on from the conversation. The question and the answer were fairly straightforward, after all. As not much of a conversationalist himself, he could hardly fault anyone for moving on once their curiosity is sated.
As it turns out, Hyth may have understood a lot more from that brief exchange than he's giving himself credit for.
Then again, it is also the case that Link is just an astonishingly easy read, because his stomach grumbles with telling volume before he's even prepared a word in protest. This kind lavender-haired man, he is wise and speaks sense. Soldiers cannot march without food, everyone knows that.
Even little Hylian children, born well after the Calamity, who have never even seen a soldier of Hyrule.
"You're right," Link concedes with some chagrin, as he sits down in front of the food. He couldn't possibly let a gift like this go to waste, anyway. And while he can (and absolutely would) finish this entire feast's worth himself, he looks back up at Hyth expectantly.

They're sharing, right?
