The weird murders are actually easier to explain. "Sounds like a serial killer," Snake mumbles to himself as he navigates the hallway, clearly familiar with the ship's layout. "Your dad must have one hell of an investigation on his hands." It's not the sort of thing that a smaller town would be prepared for, although Stiles hasn't actually said anything about the size of his hometown. Still, Snake has a feeling.
"The animal attacks, though... is there something environmental that's making them more aggressive?" It may not matter out here in space, but Snake can't help but wonder all the same.
The mention of Stiles' dad has guilt bubbling up in his chest. His father must be worried, because Stiles knows that he's worried about how his dad might be getting along without him there.
"You know I really don't know anything about that, because I'm just a normal teenager who does normal teenaged things." Except he might not be the best liar.
It's not like Snake is here to bust Stiles or anything like that. Whatever he got up to back home when his father didn't want him involved doesn't have much to do with him. But the sloppy attempt to act like he knows nothing is insulting, to say the least.
That's not going to work on a spy, Stiles.
Snake sighs and shakes his head. "Look, whatever secrets you have where you come from don't mean much here. We're in space, and most people here won't even be from the same planet as you."
