This is the basic requirement for lure actually. You make someone feel comfortable enough, feed and care for them, smile, offer polite offerings, make them trust you, and when they least expect it, you make them realize what they really were... A bait. A common lure.
Val infact knew all these. He had done it before.
Whether it was for hunting or for every battle he fought back then, there was always a bait to offer to the enemy to lure them out. And right now, he felt like one.
He knew that this carer was just putting up an act, it was very obvious, and he wasn't that naive and stupid to realize that they were just making a front to distract him from the actual scheme he was yet to figure out.
So he thought.
But even after he predicted this, even after he played along to see through their schemes, Zenov still offered more care.
