Daeryk had not been paying much attention to the other crew members when he had approached Thaddeus, but was surprised at the tan beauty that had presented herself, and he paused for a moment, not quite sure how to proceed. He had always been an outgoing person at work, due to his complete confidence in his own abilities, but when it came to the public in general, he was actually quite an introverted person and the thought of even talking to a beautiful woman sometimes scared him, which was exactly what happened at this moment. He did not want to appear rude, however, and quickly composed himself, allowing a broad grin, nervous grin to open up on young face, and a hand reached back to scratch the back of his head, outlining the large scar with his fingers unconsciously. His next words came out quick and slightly mumbled.

“Uhm sorry miss, I didn’t mean to be rude and interrupt you like that, but anyways I’m Daeryk Santoval, chief cargo handle and it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, uhm you must be a medical officer right?”

He tentatively put one of his scarred hands out, as more of a hopeful gesture than anything, and forgot himself when he unthinkingly ran his gaze over her, checking her out accidently. A blush crept up his face as he made to reach to the back of his head again, a sure sign of nervousness he had never been able to shake, and tried to hurry out another question in hopes to cover up the glance.

“So you’re going over with us? Don’t mind what I was asking Thaddeus here, he’s good at what he does, and I’m sure we’ll be in safe hands. So what’s your name if I may?”
