The press of Lisa's shoulder against his side was a welcome touch and it helped Kuron to relax more despite how unsure he still felt about this. Jeff seemed wary, and rightly so, and that was making every warning signal in Kuron's brain go off all at once. But Lisa was here and she trusted this man, trusted her crew, so he was going to fight every urge to flee that he had and see this through.

"I hope so," he said sincerely, an thankful note to his voice as Jeff gave him that encouragement. The man didn't have to do it but he did. It meant a lot given the strange circumstances of all this.

Kuron let his stance relax, arms falling to his sides now as he followed after Jeff. He kept his silence and just let them talk, a little worried about the puzzle piece comment and what would come of it since he had a feeling that meant he'd be sharing quarters with someone. It wouldn't be a problem, at least he hoped it wouldn't. Then again, he hadn't thought coming on board this ship would be either yet here he was as nervous and on edge as he had been when he'd woken up in a completely different body with Lisa hovering over him. The tension was starting to seep back into him but yet again Lisa was there to save him from it. He startled as he felt her hand in his and glanced over at her as she squeezed his. A grateful look seeped into his expression and he returned the gesture before she pulled her hand away.

He was really glad it was Lisa that had found him.

"Seems easy enough, assuming there aren't too many colors," Kuron murmured with a small smile, glancing at the stripes on the wall only for his gaze to flick to Lisa as she tapped 07 on the wall. He didn't say anything, didn't nod, but the message was received as his gaze lingered for a moment longer than necessary before it was on Jeff again. "Will the commander be the one to assign me quarters or is that something that will be done before I meet with him?" Just so he can start process all the information and mapping things out as he moves about the ship.

His steps halt as they reach the med bay and he starts to say something only to stop himself, gaze flicking between Jeff and Lisa as they go back and forth. He can see both sides of it and he doesn't want to seem too reliant on Lisa and make things more awkward that necessary--he'd seen the way Jeff had looked at them when Lisa had rested her shoulder against his side--but...

"If..it's alright, I would appreciate having her stay. This probably should be easy enough to manage on my own but--" Kuron stopped, frowning slightly as he glanced towards the doorway of the medbay. "...I'm still getting my bearings and Lisa saw everything back there. I'd like to have her with me when I speak to the Commander."
