"Yeah, I don't doubt they are" Maren smiling lightly as it was easy to tell Aelith was the type of friend that one could only hope to ask for, the young girl seemed to be trustworthy, kind, and a good spirit in a place like this where life likely wasn't guaranteed. Even if she was the polar opposite of himself, Maren couldn't help but feel some kind of odd connection with the bug girl as she told him her story, his own parents being very much alive despite them having parted ways with him long ago. Sure, the teen did care for them but there simply wasn't a need for him to stick around much once he had learned to survive on his own, Maren only being able to hope that they were safe and sound and not among any others captured back on Earth "I bet they are just waiting out there for you to come home".
His eyes falling onto the sleeping bug alien nearby though as the creature also said they were probably still alive, Maren had to keep his foul mouth shut to avoid saying something he would regret to the stranger. He liked Aeilith, not this guy, and he wasn't the type to usually stay silent amount such things for long with his fight happy attitude "see? There are a lot of planets out there, right? I don't think they will go anywhere soon than".
