Keith's used to having a giant fluffy wolf taking up a lot of space, so oversized house cat is perfectly fine with him. "I'll be honest, I'm really not good with people. I'm learning, but it's... a process. I can try, I just can't promise anything."
It's probably a good thing though that he isn't eating at the moment Jeff starts to ask the question, if just because he'd have given a noncommittal answer and claimed that 'sorry, mouth is full'. Instead, he uses the time to try and figure out if he wants to go with tried and true or something altogether new. Pizza is a serious deliberation here, and it takes the embarrassment out of the equation if he's focused on something else.
"All of it. I didn't go out of my way to be close to people and I didn't exactly have a good reputation at the Garrison, then I got kicked out and stayed as far from people as I could get for a year..." When you can't decide, you pick two and sandwich them together. Time to see how well pineapple goes with veggies! It can't possibly be worse than spending years in space living on food goo. "...and after that, I had other things to worry about instead. I was never really interested. This place was... a really big change that I'm still trying to get used to."
