[surely it isn't him!! He finally drops down from where he's hanging from, catching himself with his hand to flip over and land on his feet. As though it's completely normal or something]

They're all pretty different from each other, huh.

( Maybe impressed. Just a little. But of course it's totally normal in their worlds )

A little. Some rooms are bigger on some ships for what crew there is. Plus, didn't this ship have bunk beds for a while?

[it's totally normal nothing to be impressed by at all]

Mm, it did. We've - ah, worked on upgrading them since the last person transferred.

I'm sure everyone's grateful for it.

( See, what a nice captain )

Is that the only thing that's changed around here?

[more like he figured everyone would appreciate their own, private spaces]

I - think so? More or less. I mean, we're working on upgrading other parts, but - it's all pretty much the same since I got here. We haven't even had any transfers in a few weeks.

( Mean captains wouldn't care )

I don't think the Huntress has either. Not like some of the other ships do. You'd think it would be even or a pattern but sometimes people leave and no one new is transferred in.

[that's a very good point]

You would think that, right? [he faintly shakes his head] We had someone leave - last month? End of the month before? And we haven't had anyone new transfer in since.

Maybe you've done something wrong.

( She's kidding )

They could be waiting for something special, or if it's about the viewers you could be entertaining enough already.

Such as?

[better back it up with a good joke missy]

It's possible. We're not a very entertaining ship, most of the time. We're pretty quiet, which they must love.

Climbing too many walls.

( Although for being a boring ship they probably don't see many other people literally climbing walls )

Maybe you're more entertaining than you think.

I don't climb the walls, thank you.

[if there's someone else climbing the walls he figures he'd be the first to know anyway]

I really hope not. I don't like being interesting - especially to them.

Then how did you get up there?

( Honest curiosity. And she can agree with not enjoying being interesting to this audience )

I jumped.

[he shrugs and gives her a bit of a sheepish grin] I don't have claws like this, so I can't climb the walls, even if I wanted to.

How does jumping let you stay up there?

( Because no claws )

My feet are prehensile. So I jump up, grab one of the pipes up there, and . . . [a gesture]

Well, if you ever needed a spare hand.

( Don't say you haven't ever held things with your feet )

Is it just like holding on?

Or two.

[he totally has, for science]

Mm, it's the same as if I jumped up there and held on with my hands.

Very handy.

( Pun maybe intended )

What's the longest you've hung up there?

Ha ha.

[he appreciates the pun tho]

About - twenty minutes or so? Not up here, but back home in my lab.
