[aaaaaaaand still not something he's terribly surprised by. But again, she doesn't mind]

I'll do everything in my power to-- [there's a minuscule pause, before she changes what she's going to say] prove that I'm not a hindrance.

[mortalcoil]

[he nods, a little. because yeah... that's absolutely something that he's worried about.]

[blindoptimism]

[it's the best she can hope for, so she smiles a bit at his response. She wonders if she should talk about it more... but it's an uncomfortable subject for her, so she moves on]

So... you work as a lab technician with Captain Hange? [that might be awkward to know] I'm sorry, I looked at the ship's registry when I arrived.

[mortalcoil]

[he nods a little, though he's still frowning. and he glances past her, down the hall, like he's considering ending the conversation and walking away.

but... not just yet. something else is bothering him first.

instead, he pulls out an electronic tablet from a pocket inside his sweatshirt, and quickly scrawls out something across its surface with the stylus. and then, helpfully, he turns it for her to read.

'Transferred?' it says, and he points at her.]

[blindoptimism]

[ah... she nods at the word]

Yes, I transferred here.

[mortalcoil]

['Why?' is the next word.]

[blindoptimism]

[a pause... she doesn't want to say too much, but she also... wants to prove her feelings]

Hange and Zhas were both good to me when I was here before, and I enjoyed being on a ship with them. [it still sounds strange to her ears, 'enjoyed'. She never left in her eyes, but anyway...] I wish to repay them and help them however I can, and selfishly I wish to continue to work and live in a place where I feel comfortable.

[mortalcoil]

[haha, he just... raises his eyebrows for the most skeptical look ever. there are just so many things wrong with what she just said.]

[blindoptimism]

[ah.... she's not quite sure exactly which part is eyebrow raise worthy, so she just sort of looks embarrassed]

I, ah... I know the help I can offer is limited, but we have a lot of free time here that can be dedicated to learning one's augment skills.
