"Don't worry Taerys, I'm in the same ship as you. But if Command felt the need to send him to this ship, he has to be worth something right?" He finished with smile and gesture to the crew. The band was strange to be sure, but they had become like a family, a very dysfunctional family, but a family none the less.

When Jack made her approach and comment, he smiled and looked out the same way as her for a moment trying to see what she had her eyes fixed on. 

"I would never lose my baby." He pat the floor of the hangar gently. Then continued in a gentle tone. "As for myself, you got lucky. Knowing my antics you shouldn't be surprised if I come back one day short an arm. What would you two do then? Would you be able to manage without me?" He finished with a smile, and glanced at both Taerys and Jack.

They may fight like bickering children on occasion, but he liked them both greatly, Hell maybe even borderline love.
