[ This guy sounds like he knows way too much about what's going on here, and it makes Eddie's blood run cold. ]

[ He's been trying to keep Venom mostly a secret, but that's just because life's simpler without having to explain his very special, toothy medical condition to strangers. It's easy enough to just explain away with this Craft stuff everybody does. ]

[ But if someone from Earth, his Earth, knows more about Venom? That's dangerous. Eddie gets up carefully, watching Peter, breathing a bit too hard. Shit, he's not cut out for this. Every time they do this he's painfully aware it's Venom carrying him in any kind of fight. ]

Alright. Alright.

[ He knows too much to keep pretending. Eddie holds his hands up in a placating gesture. ]

My name is Eddie Brock. I'm a reporter. I don't know how you know him-

[ A thought strikes him. His eyes narrow. ]

You're with the Life Foundation, aren't you?

[ I don't know this one. I'd know his smell if he were one of my hosts. Venom interrupts. Eddie turns to answer him, no longer trying to hide the internal conversation. ]

Well then where the hell does he know you from, huh?
