"Bright?" ZEX sounded confused. As far as he knew, the entire Institute fell dark at night, thus necessitating the handheld lights. Where could Teisel have been where there was light? And tied down... "You were... captured by someone?" More curious than anything else. His roommate had been taken that one night, although he never did find out what happened to him. Whatever it was, he was sure it was unpleasant. Perhaps the same had happened to Teisel? Already feeling possessive, ZEX felt a flash of irritation at the thought of someone hurting his property. Well, he'd just have to ensure something like that wasn't repeated.
As it was, it seemed that his new human was starting to feel poorly. That wouldn't do! ZEX tried to squeeze his hand in sympathy, but hands couldn't quite accomplish the same encompassing feel he could with his arms. "There are some people that I'm sure are worried about me back home as well." A bit more seriously. "There's nothing we can do about that. The best we can do for them now is try and find a way out of here."
Well... if everyone he'd left behind was even alive when he went back. Now he didn't feel very cheery either. This topic of conversation definitely wouldn't do.
"Mmm, I see we do share some common ground." There, this was more pleasant. "We're both different, you see, and my people, they cannot stand difference. They lose out on so much that way." Returning his thoughts to his favorite topic, and he smiled. "I think our species really have a great deal to learn from one another, despite our differences. As long as one is creative..."
Although ZEX returned to more serious matters, although it was somewhat reluctantly. "Insanity is as good as an explanation as any. And while I've accomplished some things here..." A moment to laugh to himself at the thought. "I've been meaning to gather information for some time. M95... I'll make sure to remember. I'm in M66. Should I come see you tonight then, when the doors open?"
