If the typical application for a crew member involved killing and other crimes, then he was severely under-qualified. The only thing he had ever killed in his life was an exam at university. Unconsciously, he had started tapping his hand against his knee in increasingly complex patterns. [i]Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap tap. Tap tap tap taaap tap tap taaap tap tap taaap.[/i] He genuinely enjoyed the company of people - his nervous stutter and his naivety often made it appear otherwise. 

	It would've been easy for him to just get twitchy and run as soon as Jackie explained to him her moral philosophy. She was a liar and a thief - he imagined probably some sort of hired muscle too, maybe. But she had saved him, hadn't she? His mind then flashed back to Royus - he had spent a long time traveling the 'Verse and he handled the kids in the shop easily with his piece. It was possible that Royus was like Jackie one day. 

	Fitz stopped tapping his fingers, making up his mind. Truthfully, he liked Jackie - she seemed like a good person, deep down. Everyone else at the table, even Daphne, probably had written him off as a nervous kid over his head. But he [i]was[/i] more than that - he was an almost thirty year old engineer trying to get out of his comfort zone in the most extreme way possible. 

	[color=8882be]"Th-th-thanks,"[/color] Fitz said to Jackie. [color=8882be]"I l-like you too...Not [i]like[/i] like but...n-not that you're not pretty or anything but...you're...n-nice...to me, at l-least,"[/color] Fitz added. 

	Dorothy wasn't too sure what to think of the entire situation. The fish out of water engineer seemed to be a little insane, just straight up asking someone like Jackie if she had ever killed someone. But at the same time, he was lucky. Ask anyone else that type of question and the response wouldn't necessarily be so friendly. She shrugged it off, looking back over towards her sister and Harper. She was about to suggest to Daphne that she might like the hum bao plate as well, but she bit her tongue. 

	She needed to let Daphne make her own choices, make her own mistakes. She wasn't the little girl she left on Boros anymore. Harper and Anisa's nudging - some gentle, some not so much - was enough. She didn't need to jump in and baby Daphne. The engineer may have been tripping over his words, but she could see him putting in an honest effort. That was all she ultimately wanted from her sister. 

	[color=#4dffa6]"We've got a few wild cards, looking over your shoulder isn't always such a bad idea,"[/color] Dorothy commented. [color=#4dffa6]"Might find a Bible flung at you otherwise."[/color] Of course, she wasn't extending an invitation for Jackie to join their crew. She wasn't even certain where/when Anisa would want to start bringing on more members. She merely was musing about Atticus' proclivity for explosives and spiritual warfare - though she had chucked a few anatomy texts at him in return. 

	[color=8882be]"D-Don't worry about it,"[/color] Fitz replied. [color=8882be]"It's n-nice to meet you - Harper."[/color]
