Sticky seems like he's just trying to do his best to help the crew out. You can tell that he's a bit shaken up from the fight, and working makes it easier for him to forget just how scared he was. Azure seems the same as usual, if somewhat more surly now that she's so heavily wounded. You can tell that she's doing the usual "overcompensate because she doesn't want to look weak" thing. Othie has generally always been uncomfortable ever since you found her. Even after her operation Othie just felt on edge, as if there's danger at every corner. But you can tell that what she's feeling now isn't just paranoia, something is literally draining her energy right now, given that of the people on this ship, she's one of the most magically inclined and at the same time most vulnerable. Whatever she's feeling below the deck doesn't just make her uneasy, it's actively making her weaker. Hence why she wants you to investigate it, knowing that whatever is down there must be quite powerful, and is aware that what you're going to face could be dangerous.
