"Even the people you've barely met? Even perfectly generic relatives?" Mikodez shifts to check he still has his tape recorder receivers on him, and half-heartedly offers, "Do you want to talk about it...?" Wouldn't do to show his actual interest.
He keeps his gaze on Sasha for another breath, then lets his head fall back with a wry smile. “Alright. Pull up a station map, and you can point out the thousand places I missed at your leisure.” Mikodez makes a reasonably candid report of his whereabouts after the tour with Iawa and Pavn, only omitting the detour he took on en route to Medical and his early morning trip to find a gene scanner, instead substituting a quest to find vending machines that sold insta-scallion pancakes rather than packaged live crabs.
"...nothing much in Remi's labspace except an egg. You saw what that hatched into, and I took it with me. Then I went down, and met Imsayed." Here Mikodez breaks off, and his face darkens into the least cheerful that Sasha has seen of him. "Did you know he had a concussion? Anyway, I yelled at him, and the mothling flew away, so that was fun." He goes on in detail about the exchange he had with the guards at Gerae's rooms, getting softer at carefully timed intervals.
By the time he gets to Vana's search for Remi, he's curled into a nonthreatening huddle on the blankets, with his chin supported on his hands. Unless the rest of the ship was currently contaminated with inimical alien substances, there should have been plenty of spaces to lock someone away, rather than Sasha's own bed in her room. Someone (Ashari) probably overrode Sasha to have him dropped here. If Mikodez is asleep, she might just leave again, or get close enough to be in range of his other gadgets.
