A pilot, really? [He sounds much more excited now. That was a lot better than what he had been worried about.] So, they worked together with the humans from Earth. [His smile seems suddenly much brighter. Much more honest then the default one he usually wears.] There were two of them? Was the other one a pilot too? Do we get to meet her? [The last question is out of his mouth before he remembers how bad that would probably end up being. Even if Knives had lived long enough she likely wouldn't be happy to see Knives.] I wonder how many others there have been then. [He tries to quickly change to hypothetical instead of questions in an attempt to gloss over his bad question.]
