...he does have a point. This is possibly not the first person the Balladeer would choose to leave solely in charge of much of anything.

"Plants," he prompts helpfully at the question, having listened patiently (if somewhat baffled) through the entire ramble. "I think it was plants. Are you having fun being out of your facility?" Being trapped in one place with a bunch of unfriendly people who won't talk much with you - oh, he definitely feels that one. Seems like he might have woken the humans up, but they must've gone into crysosleep for some kind of reason. It sounds like a sci-fi movie sort of way to survive the apocalypse.
