It's a good point. Raleigh has no idea how he wound up here, but if Alex was already on a nice spaceship why would the kidnappers leave it behind as junk? Maybe it is around. He grins at the pilot, nodding his agreement at the sentiment.

"I hope so for you. And me, because then you can teach us how to fly." Because how cool would that be? A damn spaceship. Yeah, sorry Alex, you don't even get an option here, if they find spaceships Raleigh is gonna be up his butt for flying lessons.

Alex just grins back at him, like he likes that idea too, and it's... easy? Interacting with this total stranger from a different world. Maybe it's not so weird to think that imprisonment is making him more social, but he's glad for it anyway. He turns his attention back to his meal, letting a companionable quiet settle. When they part ways it's with the thought that he actually wants to check back in with this guy, sometime. It's nice.
