One word--vessel--and Anakin brightens. "We're on a ship?"
Yes, he really did miss orientation.
He misses Mayland Long's invitation to sit, too, and thus does not: in fact, he is not entirely sure whether 'Mayland Long' is the man's name or the place he is from. That's far from his mind at the moment, however. A ship means something that can be piloted, which is a sight closer to a solvable-sounding problem than Anakin has heard in a while. His new plan--to commandeer and redirect the... err... ship--absorbs him so much that he smiles; for once he thinks he has something under control. No matter if the particulars need some working out. He's on a ship.
... and here is Mayland Long (?) still looking at him. Might as well get a few more answers out of him. Anakin stretches and flexes his arms.
"Were you abducted too?" he hazards. "Was everyone else here we can see abducted?"
