He snorts when Newt's first attempt at a shake misses entirely. Kid's a lightweight where liquor's concerned, but that doesn't surprise Sawyer given the story that's being painted of his earlier life. Sawyer can imagine it, a thin little gangly thing heading in and out of the lab all day, rather than actually stopping to make friends his age, never mind hitting up bars. That's where their paths diverge, Sawyer supposes. They've both been driven to learn from a young age, something that's never stopped for either of them, but Sawyer's brand involved needing to learn about people. Newt's, less so.
"Supposed to be dead," Sawyer says with a muted note of interest. Mostly, he's still wondering whether or not there was something that happened to him, something that explains why he's the only one of that handful of people who were on the plane to wind up here. Wouldn't it just be damned fitting if he had a heart attack or something else to keep him from getting properly off that island? But more importantly, hearing things like how dead people can wind up in Darrow makes his thoughts turn towards a certain woman. Every single time.
"I ain't got anyone I know from my home world 'round here, though there are a few people who claim that they knew me somewhere else before gettin' here. Been having these... memories show up, too," he breathes, throwing caution to the wind. Not like this guy seems like a threat. "Outta nowhere, and of another island. Oh, and there's someone here who shares a face with a woman I slept with, but apparently ain't the same broad. Makes me double-take every time I see her."
