As absurd as this entire situation was, this felt like it was just starting to feel like it was the sort of thing that happened to him. There are worse things than ending up in a foreign galaxy. He could have wound back up in a prison. Although, wryly, he can't help but think that that's sort of what had happened.
There will be plenty of time to ruminate about gloomy topics though. He's not so cynical that he can't recognize when someone is attempting to cheer him up. Appreciation and a sliver of warmth manages to make its way into his smile at her outlook on the situation. ]
Even if they're pessimistic as hell? [ His lips tug a little higher. ] Either you keep strange company or you have a different definition of nice than most.
