Her response is pretty on par with what he expects from her, so he relaxes a hair or three. The pyjak has no interest in standing around and chatting, though, and he wraps the leash around his hands a few more times to keep it from staying too far.

"Rachel, Rachel, there's always time for jokes. I've had plenty of time to think them up in your absence. I've been here for like a year already, so really, the question on hand is what took you so long to get here?" Okay, so maybe a year is a bit of an exaggeration. "And besides Jake and Cassie, who else do you think is supposed to be here? Mr. Chapman? Cher? The president?"

Even though her general persona checks out, a lot of things about what she's saying doesn't line up. Either they got yanked off their planet at the same time and she just got stuck in a wormhole for weeks, or she was from a different time altogether. A time when he hasn't been missing for weeks.

Either way, he's slightly smug about having the upper hand on her as far as information goes, so he's just going to smirk and watch her flail for a little bit.
