[ Darnit, Robby. You just had to ask him before he could ask you, huh.

It'd be one thing if it was any other question - but it's this one, of all things. A question neither of them - no, no one in this entire city, honestly - has a real answer to. Because all of that sounds incredibly unlikely, and Daniel isn't even willing to really entertain half of those with a thought or two, but..

Well, it's clearly that something is off about this place. ]

It seems a little too strange to just be a mass kidnapping, right? Though someone saying it's aliens..

[ He tries to keep his own tone light too, shaking his head like the idea of it being aliens is somehow funny, even with the faint raw edges to it where his voice is still fully recovering - but there's something a little more to Daniel's expression that betrays the man has been struggling with thoughts about the reason for this situation.

Especially when his last encounter back home left the poor man so paranoid.

There's a slight pause, like he's thinking about something in particular, and then speaks up again after swallowing a small bite of pasta. ]

Were you also asked questions? Back in the train?
