Murderbot will see how being called out on "looking" affects her without being told - the surprise, the tiny smile there, moving her head back so that her ear is more turned to it than her face. No one's ever said that to her, said it wasn't needed, apart from her own father. But then, the expression falls to hear that admission, tucked into the rest of the words.
"I'm sure you've had the most fantastic adventures...but I'm sorry that you haven't had anywhere you could yet consider your home."
That there is no place that this stranger feels safe. Even given her life, she at least felt safe in her own childhood bed. It pulls at something, makes her hope that even in this place, there might be something there for the two of them. At least to lie beneath the sky and sleep at ease.
