Serenity looked to face the voice answering her question. She reflexively recoiled as he finished his statement, not caring to think about why he would choose to say it that way. "Uuh... Right." Her gold eyes turned back to Caelum, and she could feel her heart sink just slightly when she hears that this weird guy was the Captain. Well, she'd just... have to give him another chance to make a better impression.

She hoped he made a better one.

The feel of an intense gaze on her caused her to look, and Serenity barely caught that woman staring at her. It made the hairs on the back of her neck stand.

Well, she'd gotten herself into something, alright... She should have stayed home. Oh well.

Since it seemed that they could go in and claim their own space now, she decided that would probably be the best course of action. She should make herself at home on the ship as soon as possible, and so she began to make her way in. As she approached the ladder into the ship, her identification put itself away in her bag before she plucked the luggage from the ground and climbed up with one hand. She ended up going one rung at a time, not being used to ladders and also carrying something.

Once through the ladder, the young lady made her way to the lady's bunk, claiming one of the empty beds for herself. She started to unpack some things from her bag. The zipper undid itself and smaller objects float out while she picks out larger, heavier things. After a moment, she had a seat as a custom-built data pad floated out of her pocket and into her hand. She fiddled with it for a moment, getting it to connect to the local network before she turned her attention to Risty. She should probably say something, right? Try to make friends?

"Hello, ah... I'm Serenity. I suppose we'll be seeing a lot of each other from now on, huh?"
