Tahlia followed the captain, half a step behind him, both allowing him to lead and deferring to him politely as her better, at least as far as the ship was concerned. It was something she’d done often enough as a child with her father, once she had stopped being small enough that she could get away with holding his hand and looking cute. She was however, grateful when they finally reached the door to her temporary room. As tired as she was, she missed the appreciative looks he gave her, though she did notice him watching her again, remembering his suspicious looks at dinner.<br/><br/>“Thank you for dinner, and your hospitality captain.” she said softly, nodding graciously. She didn't know what his suspicions were to alleviate them, but at least she could stay out of his way. “I… if i start skipping meals or don’t come out for a long time, don’t worry too much. That happens when i get into my work…” she glanced back into the room, feeling in her data crystals in the pocket of her long coat. “And i won’t need to use any of your ships systems, the pod i came in on has been customized for my work. If it’s not a burden to anyone I’d prefer to just shut myself up in there… though i can remove the computers i need if that causes problems…” she quickly tacked on the last part, trying to account for all possibilities. She just wanted to make herself as unobtrusive as possible.
