Touma was right on the mark, or close enough. It was in her nature - trained nature - to apply herself to others, those at least above her rank. Where did this person sit on that scale? What was it that made him act the way he did: someone in training themselves, but who was here, now offering to feed her.
His touch on her does make her twitch, more unsure of the gesture than apprehensive, but she doesn't pull away. His actions confuse her too much to argue, and if this is what will make him happy, then why fight it?
It's easier to go along with him, to take a seat, if that's what he guides her to do. Hands sitting on her lap, she does think to say, mulling over his words, his apparent disposition:
"It is not for a serin to make another work for them, but I have no wish to cause you stress by declining your generosity." If it is, which she wonders as well, but to be the fool is to be unassuming, and she will bite her tongue, if necessary. "...but as a serin," worker, the word means, a slight change in pronunciation from serjin, "if you will permit... I would like to offer my gratitude to you as a companion for your meal."
