Seongho doesn’t want the fox to move too far for her meal, injured as she is. If she eats all of what he’s served her, he’s happy to give her more. There’s plenty to go around. The stew would feed him alone for several days. It’s easy to pop in a pot and reheat, so he cooks it in larger amounts. That tends to be how Seongho eats.
He doesn’t stare her down while she’s eating. Most wild animals don’t enjoy that. So he busies himself rocking in his chair and just looking over his garden beside his cabin. “You just let me know if you want more, little one,” he muses as much to himself as to Nari. “You’re always welcome here for a meal. If you want to stay close, I can build you a shelter, ‘til that leg’s healed.”
The food and water seem safe enough, even if she were just a regular fox. Nothing tastes off about it. And he seems intent of leaving her to her meal. He's keeping his distance. He's not trying to move in on her and he's not crowding her. He doesn't even seem to be looking at her. Though she's still far from trusting him, maybe he isn't the worst human she's ever come across. At least not currently. She's still waiting to find out what he'll actually do with that trap.
Finishing off both the food (see? She ate the vegetables too!) and water he brought out for her, she barks to get his attention then noses one of the dishes forward before finally retreating to a safe distance. Back to where she'd been sitting previously before he came out with the meal. She doesn't know how she feels about the shelter but she'll gladly take him up on his offer of seconds.
The bark gets his attention and he can't help smiling when he sees her nudge the dish forward. At least his cooking is palatable to other living things, too. He likes to think his cooking is decent enough to feed to others, be they human or not.
"You want some more, huh?" He murmurs to alert her to his actions. Again, he's not sold on her understanding him, but at least if he speaks before he moves, it won't seem to sudden or unexpected. "Alright, I'll get you some seconds." There's plenty so he doesn't need to be stingy about it.
Seongho's still careful when he walks toward her, taking deliberate steps closer and reaching out long before he's close enough to crouch and pick up the dishes. And then, with just as much care, he retreats with the dishes to refill them. This time, there are fewer vegetables and more meat for her. She'll need her strength to recover from that trap.

"Here you go, little one. Eat up."
