Xanatov's entrance earned a serious nod from him, but the more flamboyant entrance had him simply shaking his head slightly and trying to think through about what to do with the situation. "Please to meet you captain." He spoke seriously, albeit a touch briefly. "I wish I could say the same about the commotion in motion." He muttered somewhat, though likely loud enough for at least Seda to pick it up.<br/><br/>"Someone has a taste for the outlandish entrances..." Nikolai deadpanned at hearing the way the arrival of the fellow that seemed intent to make sure the room heard him. His voice was above a whisper, enough to reach those near him, though not raised enough to try and in incite an argumetn with the man. Simply making his thoughts known, and while ready to repeat them to the man's face he kept his voice down enough to not try and do so on the spot. It was just a first impression for him, and though it wasn't a good one, he figured he'd wait and listen to how things would turn out. Personally, he paid more attention to Seda, gently squeezing onto her arm.<br/><br/>"I have to admit, listening to the engine song right now would be comforting. I am not at ease in these surroundings, they leave me more than a little out of place. The journey draws my interest and I am looking forward to embarking on it, and the present company seems such that I would expect the travels to turn out more pleasant than previously assumed." He spoke in a calm fashion, a bit on conversational note rather than worried one. Yet at the same time he wondered if the captain would intercept the flamboyant man, and briefly wincing at the thought that with his luck his first impression would come back to bite him in some manner or form.
