"Good looking, and so modest. A winning combination," Dan replied with another grin.
"I managed to turn into a snake because that was the memory that prompted it, and then I tried being a cat. And this is the ghost in the food court," he said, and was suddenly one of the purple snake-haired aliens. All the objects he'd found in the apartments when he first appeared on the station suddenly seemed a lot less... well, alien. Now that he had the right body to use the objects, they made a lot more sense. He didn't grin, because one of his few memories from being eight and on the station was of this ghost baring its teeth at him and there being far too many teeth for any mouth to have. He did check his new hands, though, and then reached up to see what the snake-hair felt like.
All of that was a bit much for before breakfast, though, so he switched again to look like himself.
