[Christopher is giddy, but a creature in a constant state of anxiety is accustomed to being aware of its surroundings no matter what. Particularly when such an animal is threatened by its own group mates, it learns to be sensitive to the moods and behaviours of those around it.

So it would be difficult for him to miss what has happened with Kaneis. Pausing in his excitable exploration of the environment, Christopher turns back around. He doesn't want to get too close to Kaneis. He has no idea what has set him off.

But he knows that look. It's the same look that his siblings get when they're surprised by people in labcoats. It's from the same feeling Christopher has trained himself to suppress when the smell of sterilized equipment hits his nose.

With gentle, serene tone, Christopher calls out to Kaneis.]

Hm? Kaneis? It's good to be back safely on Earth, don't you think? [There is a soft, slight emphasis on safe and Earth, but he keeps his voice calm and not loud.] I myself am very happy to be here with you and the other Transports.
