Either he was asking for a completely different dish and the Mealweaver misunderstood, or Ll'uk'sh-taed was indeed asking for a plate of human in his native language.
Either way, he's in a very awkward situation right now.
One thing I can't help but wonder: How did Ll'uk'sh-taed put on the sleeves of his uniform? There are big gaps in the center. Were they sewn onto his arms?
