[It's the sort of reaction people (especially young people) tend to have when they get caught doing something with mushi he explicitly told them not to do, so he's not entirely buying Starflight's story here, but it's also not really his business what excuse the dragon might have (actual dragons, this place never runs out of surprises) as long as he's not actually eating the potentially-dangerous food.]

That's a better idea. I'm going to be sitting and watching a while longer. Usually if there's some reason we should avoid eating it, something will change that makes that clear, sooner or later.
