Palmer's offering the PINpoint because he's taken a liking to Forrest and also so he can let him know how Cricket's doing. He's not Cricket's guardian, of course, Cricket's an adult, but he is his employer. He considers Cricket's wellbeing partly his responsibility.
While Forrest works with the PINpoint, Palmer's taking the chance to enjoy his supper. By this point Palmer's gobbled down the last of the chicken he took, and is happily sucking the last scrap from the bones. He politely compliments Forrest as he discards them.
"Delicious. Thanks, Forrest. These are some good eats. But yeah, Cricket's fine. He's a good hand with a car, and we make a great team. You're welcome to visit my shop sometime."
