Kuron just smiles and follows her out of the ship, unable to fight off the tension that seeps over him.

Unfamiliar place. Unfamiliar face. Memorize the layout. Figure out the exits--

He stops just out of the doorway of the ship and closes his eyes for a moment, forcing himself to take a deep breath and anchor himself. Lisa was right in front of him; she was there. He could trust her. It was okay. Some of the tension is still visible in his stance as he opens his eyes again, just as Lisa steps to the side and Jeff speaks for the first time but Kuron does his best to relax and make it clear he's not about to do anything.

He's just...it's all new.

"Likewise," Kuron said with a hesitant smile as he took Jeff's hand, returning the tight grip with a firm one of his own. "Hopefully I can fill in whatever gaps there are in what she told you guys."

An olive branch of sorts? Maybe.

Releasing Jeff's hand Kuron can't help but take a slight step to the side, putting himself closer to Lisa as he tucks his arms behind his back, standing at attention though a rather lax version of it.

"I owe all of you a lot, letting me come aboard like this."
