She would cant her head towards Nikolai, as if moving in a little closer as he spoke to hear him better, considering how loud the party was starting to become. Nigh overwhelming as she thought, it was tempting to start planning her escape and make her way back to her temporary lab and return to her work. She had never been ‘good’ at such situations, and normally tended to shun them. Though, they had not yet left port and as her patrician had always advised. If one is going to be difficult, they should at least wait till the ship is out of port.<br/><br/>“I think it will be a good journey. I for one shall be incredibly occupied. Some of the technology on the ship is under-documented. That task should keep me quite entertained between destinations.” She’d say with a smirk, as if she were utterly looking forward to the tedious task of going through the ship, and manually documenting every single piece of technology that was currently present.  “And who could imagine what else we will find.” She’d say, with an almost dreamy sigh to her voice. Her eyes darting to the Astropath as he’d brush his hand against her arm, causing her to adjust her stance just slightly, moving her legs closer together and straightening her back. Idly biting down on her lip just slightly as she’d actively try to remember if Astropaths or Navigators were the Psykers that could read minds, though trying to keep certain thoughts from surfacing regardless and having a slightly difficult time of it. Her glance would get directed towards the ceiling for a moment as she’d start trying to occupy her cogitator with something else which was no easy feat at the moment.<br/><br/>This, in fact would cause her to be so occupied with not thinking about certain subjects she would fail to notice their Captain’s approach. Her normal tendency to be strangely careful about her hands would fall to the wayside for the moment as he’d take her hand, which would, of course snap her out of her current line of thought when he took her free hand and kissed it. Her eyes would go wide and she would look… oddly embarrassed and quickly pull her hand away, crossing it behind her back and then immediately attempting to play it off as if nothing had happened.<br/><br/>“Greetingsandsalutaionssir.” She’d say, talking just a bit to fast and her voice cracking slightly as she spoke. She’d pause and clear her throat.<br/><br/>“Greetings, I myself have done my research on you, and the other members aboard this vessel. I believe it shall be a most enlightening journey.” She’d say as she’d bow slightly out of respect.  Once again clearing her throat and clenching her fist behind her back, looking short of absolutely mortified about<em>something</em>. Though, it would be far from the first time that Hwan Zhou had seen a Tech priest behave strangely over someone touching their hands.<br/>Seda would find herself silently praising the Omnisaah for the grandiose entrance which, thankfully disrupted things just enough to allow her a moment of slightly accelerated breathing to calm down. Of course, such a thing would be immediately obvious to Nikolai. She’d look towards Hwan Zhou, squinting for just a moment and watching him mimic the act of gunfire with his fingers with just the slightest upturn of her lips.<br/>“It appears you have gained another Admirer, Captain.” Seda would say, with a dry snicker punctuating her sentence.<br/><br/>
