John has to take a moment to think about who this chick could be. Oh, he has to mean Aeryn. It’s probably not worth going into that she’s not exactly born without a sense of humor, it’s just kinda deadpan, sneaks up on you. John doesn’t miss a beat.
“Yeah, you try telling her that.” He’s tried to explain to Aeryn the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing, but she doesn’t get it. Probably thinks it’s another backward Earth custom. He glances around when he notices Howard looking over his shoulder at something as there’s a real nasty smell in the room, his nose crinkling. There’s what looks like a mutated kid, John about to ask who it is when Howard goes on. “I wouldn’t be surprised. That anyone you’ve seen on the ship?”
If so, he doesn’t think they’re up for some happy reunion or whatever. John still hasn’t figured out what kids are doing on the ship if they’re going with the drafted army theory.
