Omurice please he desperately wants you to be food. He didn't even know about the dollars yet! What would he even do with them!!!

It didn't matter because the food was food in his mouth and that was the only thing he could focus on as he boggled at Shinji with huge eyes. That one! That worked!! There had been a pause as he registered the taste of egg and not the taste of soul-crushing despair, which meant that this was almost-nearly as delicious as all of Shinji's home made curry. ((Almost.))

Then everything went real fast as Kai gobbled it up, as if he sensed the need to trick everything into letting him continue to eat.

"That worked!!"
