Eijin had only the barest of time for newcomers, at first, given that the he was busy working the decks as best as he could, given his limited knowledge of NOVAs, but found ways to make himself useful, having some ability to clamber up the ropes and ladders.  With his mount finally taking to perching on the outstretched prow of the ship, he took some moments to look at the newcomers.  Kitsunes he hadn’t seen in a while, a very long time if he was honest, but like everyone else, they were a lively pair.  Hopefully the cook was good at what he did, given that he had generally bad memories of what cooks on voyages were generally like.<br/><br/>The girl who identified herself as Samantha was somewhat of a surprise, given her maid outfit mixed with her implements as a technician.  Anything other thoughts on his mind were cut short as Wynna came falling upside down almost in front of him, suspended in mid-air by the rope.  He gave a fine posterior a playful slap: “Quite the attention stealer,” he chuckled, moving her a bit to the side like a decorative hanging as he eased past.<br/><br/>He was about to head to the cabins again, when two newcomers clambered aboard.  He wouldn’t have batted an eyelid save for the fact that they had hollered and clambered in haste.  He went to see what the fuss was about and blink in surprise as he reached the edge, seeing the pursuers.  Making sure that a sudden arrows wasn’t about to come flying over the edge and keeping his hand on the hilt of his sword to repulse violent boarders, he leaned over to the two.  “You kids alright?  What’s your hurry to escape these desperadoes?”
