[He straights a bit at the introduction; years of Starfleet experience has practically groomed him to come to attention at the mere mention of superior officers. (But he's also not a huge fan of strict adherence to chain of command. Come commanders are idiots.)]

I suppose asking permission to come aboard is a little late, Captain. [It sounds off, to be calling this slip of a girl by 'captain.' That's been reserved for Jim Kirk for too long.] It's good to meet you, Captain Daenerys. [Full title? Full title.] I'm Doctor Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer of the Enterprise.

Or, well. Of the Caprine now, I guess.

[moonofmylife]

No, not at all. I mean- you don't need to ask permission here. The Atroma are the ones who do ship assignments.

[She can tell just how awkward it is for him to be addressing her as Captain already just by the fact that his tone makes it obvious. It was on the tip of her tongue to apologize, to allow him to call her just Dany, but she didn't know him and that still felt even more awkward to just backpedal like that.]

So - welcome. Normally Pinkie likes to throw a party of sorts but things have been rather busy...

[And a bit sad. They've both been sad, actually.]

I only wanted to make sure you were settling in well and that seems to be the case.

[notanoptimist]

[He shrugs one shoulder. Yeah, Atroma does the ship assignments and, as far as he understands it, the captain of one of these little fleet ships is pretty much just a figurehead, if even that. Doesn't really mean much, aside from the esteem of crewmates. Even so, this isn't how they do things back home, figurehead captain or not.]

I'm not much of a party person anyway. Don't worry about it. [He then looks around the lab, nodding slowly.] Yeah, it's not quite what I'm used to, but I'll make it work.

[moonofmylife]

If there's anything I can do to help the transition be easier, please let me know. I'll do what I can.

[She remembers first arriving and being absolutely terrified. Not knowing where she was, where Drogon was, or what anything did had been scary enough. At least she'd had people like Qing and the others to help her.]

[notanoptimist]

That's... [He pauses, biting back the initial response. Unnecessary. There's nothing she can do anyway. There's no need. He's fine.] ... kind of you. I'll admit, I'm a little off-kilter right now, but... [Shrug.]

Heh, half my job back home is adapting to new and different situations.
