All in all? He's okay with that. Xander's canny enough to know that Cottonball has somewhat disarmed this girl, and so he chooses to be very careful in what he asks.

"If they have sandwich stuff in the cooler, you can wrangle her for me? Please? I mean, you're feeding her, so she should be okay, but at this point, if I was trying to get food for me without that, she'd be trying to eat my food too. And meat is no good for her--but try telling her that!"
He laughed a little, but the look of concern he gave Cottonball, and the shake of his head, probably spoke volumes. But she seemed content enough to let Alice feed her, and that trust was enough for him.
"So do you want me to make you one while I'm at it?" Because honestly, she was whipcord-thin...Alice could decline if she liked, but maybe she'd eat just because he and his familiar were both inclined to snack time...
