No, you're right, they are. You just happen to be on board a space station with a batch of exceptional weirdos.
[that's not to say she's a weirdo — well, unless she is. he doesn't know. but, considering her latest question, coupled with the questions she asked earlier, it's easy enough to infer that she has people she cares about. with that first impression, Dave is pretty sure that she is, at minimum, a weirdo more apt to be a friend than stir up trouble.]
[so, maybe his tone isn't as flat when he offers an answer. it's maybe just a tiny smidge more friendly.]
Peaceful's not the right word for it. Dangerous in occasionally really stupid ways is probably a better way to describe it.
If it helps at all, though — in my experience, weirdos are pretty good at defending themselves.
