Nate scratched at the back of his neck. Seemed like a moving airship was a very different thing from a stationary one. "Sorry about that," he said. "I'm Nate." He shook the woman - Ari - 's hand and then put his back on the wall to steady himself.
"No, I'm not crew," he said, working his way past Ari to where the half-full pot of coffee stood. "I - Bella invited me along." He adjusted the sentence, since he had no way of knowing whether this rather innocent-looking woman knew about the captain's true purpose for this journey. Wedging himself into a corner, he used both hands to carefully pour a cup and top it up with milk, managing not to spill any on his only pair of respectable trousers.
The journey to Kerwon wasn't short, and his employer for the duration hadn't mentioned needing anything from him until they arrived. Nate figured he might as well use the time to get to know his companions a little. "Ari. Is that short for anything?"
