[ Net-work? What's a net-work...? Ah well, it doesn't seem that important, so he files it away to be more or less forgotten. Because he blinks a little at the mild admonishment. For someone who's supposed to be "fine" with the situation and being here, she sure is going out of her way to remind him of that..

But something else she said catches his attention more, in a bothersome sort of way, and if she starts eyeing some of the cookies on the tray that he hadn't shoved into his face yet he'll offer them to her somewhat automatically. ]

"Stuck here just like me"? [ His brow furrows slightly as he parses that. ] "From there"?

[ Something tightens a little in his expression, because there's a cold sort of dread when he thinks he knows what she means, and he doesn't like it at all. He should be polite and just let it slide but that, honestly... ]

Surely you don't mean to suggest... that someone [ would be so selfish ] might actually wish this happen to on someone they know?
