"Oh, I'm more than capable of feeding myself on those days where my meal doesn't show up on my doorstep."
Astarion had no doubt that he would be able to do that elsewhere too. Any civilized world was likely to have a seedy underbelly full of people who'd never be missed if they were pulled off the street, after all. And he could also sate himself with animals.
"Humanoid blood may be a fine vintage, but I can make merry with animal blood all the same."
He definitely had a preference for the blood of thinking creatures now that the option was there for him, but animal blood was sufficient for those days when his hunts ended in failures, "Speaking of, much as I appreciated that taste- you're quite a treat, truly- we should probably postpone any further conversation until tomorrow past sundown. I would like to find something more filling before sunrise."
Given that his hunting ground was quite a ways away from where he was staying to avoid arousing any suspicions from the regulars who knew him, Astarion knew he would need time to hunt and then make his way back and he hadn't exactly planned to spend this time with Thrawn.
