She's walking away from the Passenger's Quarters with the book in hand, reading as she takes steps. She's committed the entire scripture to memory but the words are as comforting as the weight of it in an unfamiliar body.
And then she stops.
She doesn't move, not at first, but her gaze has shifted to the casual-but-not-casual stance of the Beef Jerky trader, and then slowly turns her head to follow, gaze locked onto the older male. And, after a few moments of staring, speaks:
"You're planning something."

The attitude, however, distracts him from that train of thought and, though he knows he probably shouldn't, he finds her boldness amusing. His lips quirk into a semi-grin, eyebrows lifting towards his hairline a moment later because he really is trying his best to look like he isn't about to go play explorer in places he probably shouldn't be.
"Oh yeah? What makes you so sure?"

"It's written all over you," She indicates with a raise of her eyebrow, and she can't help it when a tiny, tiny smile crosses her features. He kind of looks like her twin brother when he'd get caught doing something wrong.
"It's..pretty obvious." A beat, and then: "What are you planning, exactly?"
Reply
"Even if I was plannin' somethin', kid, I wouldn't tell you. Hell, isn't it past your bedtime?"

"I wasn't aware there was a curfew," she states truthfully, seriously, and after a few seconds of pondering this she reasons that if she's past curfew, so is the guy before him. She may be smart, but it doesn't mean she gets everything.
"Regardless, there's nothing wrong with a bit of curiousity, sir. Are you one of the individuals that are used to space travel?"

It gives him all the encouragement he needs to actually answer some of her questions without just dismissing them like a douche.
"No. There's pretty much nothin' about bein' stuck on a spaceship that's familiar," he tells her, honestly, actually manages to not sound overly sarcastic about it. The whole idea of being in space is something that still blows his mind.
"Where I'm from traveling in space is uh... it's all experiments while we figure out new technology--" he trails off this time and clears his throat, has a moment of realization.
"Pretty basic, I

"You lost me at 'you completely debunk'," he confesses and actually looks half-sheepish about that. It isn't like he's not intelligent enough with certain things, or that he's not interested, but the level of smart that Chase handles so casually is blowing his mind.

"Every reason I try to come up with why we're here fizzles out because of something-or-other that happens. Like you never being in space." She pauses, removing her hand from Dean's and pressing her lips together.
"It's frustrating, and kind of hurting my head."

"No, I've never been in space. Yeah, all this is ten types of crazy. ...more crazy than usual which is pretty freakin' Outer Limits, at times," he's half-rambling now and it isn't because he's worried his plans are going to be discovered. Actually, he thinks this might be one time where being honest might help.
"I'm goin' out lookin' for some answers. If I find anything... I'll come let you know."

"You're going to get yourself killed if you're not careful," She points out casually, shrugging.
"There's something wrong with this ship."
Reply
"...you think it was the ship who pulled everyone here?"

The confusion is evident on Chase's face and the brunette wrinkles her nose slightly, before nodding slightly. Maybe it's an Outer Limits reference, for all she knows. She focuses on what she can answer.
"I'm not sure if it's the ship itself, but it's wrong. It's not right, I can't--I can't quite explain it, Mr. Dean."
Reply
"I have no idea who can explain it but I'm gonna find some answers. Whatever the hell they are. Some people around here don't want to know but I like to know how deep I'm in."
