Smiling slowly and arching a brow as he looked up, the Titan nodded, content. He would have to try to get Aoba out of the ship at some point, though he was fine with waiting until they went to the Reef. It was a prettier float, at any rate.

"So all we have to do is figure out the sleeping arrangements. I defer to your judgment there as well," Declan stated, leaning forward to scroll through the updated bounty boards again, wondering if there was anything to take Aoba on safely. A few scouting missions...those were usually safe so far as being non-engagement assignments. He was trying to find ways to avoid Aoba having to handle weapons at all. Then man was so against the idea that Declan didn't even want it to be an issue any longer.
