Inhospitable?

My Grandpa visited two decades ago.
I was getting myself a snack in the kitchen
When he joined me. “I’m thirsty.”

“We have glasses in the cupboard there.
Milk in the refrigerator, and water from the tap.
Help yourself!” Big smile and quick exit.

Was that inhospitable? (A cup of cold water
In my name and all that.) Or simply allowing
An able-bodied man to help himself?
