That wasn't an answer to her question so much as being petulantly unhelpful, but fair enough, she's not feeling all that forthcoming either. Better to find out more about her company before dispensing with information too freely. Perhaps he's doing the same. In which case nice try, but in her experience, regular humans react to anything alien less with 'very likely not human' and more with 'what the hell is that'. And his admission that he didn't come from Earth puts a bit of a snag in her current strategy.

At the unmistakable sound of scanning she glances back, and is about to protest him picking up the thing by the neck before she remembers she doesn't care. It's rather satisfying to watch it try to kick him in the face with its weird hind hands, though. And the sonic probe is interesting.

"Yeah well I'd like to see something try," she grouses. "I'd rather fight my way out of here than hike through ruins for the foreseeable future." She'd fought off something back in the arena, but unfortunately its demise did not result in a return trip. She'd even checked for clues in its chest cavity. "And now I'm slightly less sure any cracks in the area lead back to Earth, thanks for that." Yes yes, it's sort of valuable information, but he really could have shared better news. "There's a bunch of them where I... work, or one that changes its location around a central point, I'm not really interested in the specifics. So I thought it would be similar on this side."
