“Naturally,” he smiles. Yeah, that’s exactly how that scene would progress according to stupid action movie tropes.
He doesn’t look away, as he doesn’t want to give the impression that he has something to hide (he doesn’t, aside from not wanting to talk about how he fucked everything up and then died). There is, however, a brief flicker of fear in his eyes. Johnny had seemed friendly enough, but people can turn on a fucking dime.
He relaxes again when Johnny shakes his hand. “Yeah, it’s a dirtball... I mean, there’s oceans and everything, but basically a dirtball...” Maybe people in the future hate everyone who lived during Freddy’s time for fucking up the planet with all the pollution. It’s understandable. “What do most people do when they come here? Just hang out and bullshit about stuff?” He’s skeptical about that, as it seems too good to be true. Plus, it's probably different for someone who lives here rather than just vacationing...
