For a time, Nero was quiet and attentive. Observant to the way Megan reacted on the outside to him. The change in tone and appearance in one of the pupils oddly did not jump him in the slightest. He shook the others hand without hesitation.<br/><br/>"I'm certain your<em>secret</em>won't be an issue. You see ladies," he touched an adjacent window and dragged his fingertips along the highly reinforced surface, peering into the distant sea of stars, "everyone aboard this ship is unique. We all carry our own little quirk. Something we'd rather everyone else not know. Captain Dirk has assembled one of the best crews I've had the pleasure of being a part of. Even those of us with rather...obnoxious manners. Let me just say that, first appearances are not what they seem aboard the Steel Condor."<br/><br/>Meg had brought up the Legion earlier. Nero felt like explaining that a bit further, for his eyes surely showed an indifference toward the mere mention of the word, but there would be a time and place for that. "We'll be leaving Legion territory on this course. Most of our travels are assured a degree of less trouble working with the borders of the Galactic Confederation. The Legion is<em>difficult</em>to work with." he mused icily.<br/><br/>"I think I should like to hear your story, from both perspectives, Meg and Zaldira." Nero changed the subject, both walking now toward the main control command deck, "Perhaps over a drink in the evening sometime. After all, friendly fraternizing and social activity is encouraged aboard the Condor, and we're all looking forward to learning more about our new recruit." He grinned at her, his eyes reflecting the lights from above.<br/><br/>*Psshh*<br/><br/>The control room door slid open.<br/><br/>Crash Graves was making his way out in a huff when he bumped into Megan abruptly. "Hey, watch where you're-" he stopped when he saw whom he had bumped into, blinking a moment and trailing off, a look in his eyes.<br/><br/>"Crash. Ever true to his name." Nero commented, lifting one eyebrow, "Where are you off to in such a rush?"<br/><br/>"I...er..." Crash looked between Nero and Meg, scratching the back of his neck, "I just...grrr...it's none of your business, how about that?!"<br/><br/>"Fair enough, I was only inquiring because I'm showing Megan and Zaldira-"<br/>"Who?"<br/>"The name of Megans partner, the one who assisted us in the bar brawl." Nero explained.<br/>"Oh...right. Well, anyway, I gotta go. No time or whatever." Graves growled, crossing his arms and closing his eyes.<br/>"That's unfortunate, I was hoping you could join us-" Nero began again.<br/>"Look, its been a long day and I'm tired alright! I need a shower so if you'll excuse me!!" Graves shoved off abruptly, stomping away.<br/><br/>Nero watched him go before looking at Meg pleasantly, "...He's actually quite charming when you get to know him." With that, he led the two inside the control room, where Captain Dirk was at the helm, attempting to understand the controls again.
