How about if I stick to only jumping people who need jumping?
[The subtle irony in his voice is the only indication that yeah, that's a joke (but, like hers, it's only halfway.) Adam takes a moment to dig in a pocket for his smokes, offering one to her before taking one for himself. At the rate he's going through his only pack, he's really hoping "space tobacco" is a thing.]
Can't say that's really my skillset, sorry. [Not unless the ship's got a surfeit of broken clocks that need fixing, and only when he feels like doing it. A pause to light his cigarette (and hers, if she'd decided to partake) and to take that first, satisfying drag.] Can't promise no one's going to be scared by me, either. But a ship this large must attract some unwanted attention – I figure that's when scary people are going to be in demand.
[Ship's already attracted that sort of attention, he'd wager. He's seen the damage to some of the interior, the telltale signs of battle. And unless there's been an abundance of mutinies onboard that he hasn't been told about yet…]
So are you saying you're an engineer yourself, Miss...?
[It occurs to him now that, between the ambush and that knife fight that almost happened, they haven't technically done actual introductions yet. Now seems as good a time as any.]
