Shui's eyebrows rise slightly. "Mr. Orgesh, are you asking me to train?" A real smile lights her features this time, and she gives him a small, formal-looking nod in return, head tilted to an angle just so. "Of course I accept, without a doubt."
At least, she feels, when Yasmine starts the classes there won't be any fumbling through a search for a partner. And she's fairly certain Mr. Orgresh - an experienced scout - won't fumble something in the actual practice, either. Paired up with a complete neophyte to this sort of thing could be disastrous to Shui. The other person might unknowingly attack in a wild fashion...which could prove to have poor results for both people involved.
Plus, she trusts Tylen. Not that she mistrusts the other members of the crew, but...it's a matter of solidity, she decides. Tylen has always struck her that way. Not more trustworthy than the others, but extremely...protective. That's the word, and a quality she admires.
"I expect you are capable enough in this dance not to step on my toes," she notes to the gunner, eyes bright with amusement. "I shall do my best not to embarass you, myself."
Saskia appears well-pleased with her choice, but poor Ash seems somewhat worried by being the last one out, so to speak. Shui frowns slightly. "Mr. Tescali, we really must have that physical. And soon, if you are to be partaking in this exercise." She shoots a narrow-eyed glance at Jago, scarfing back the food, then raises an eyebrow at Saskia. "Make him work," Shui mouths at the engineer before turning back to their pilot. "If you are free after this, Mr. Tescali, perhaps we can get it out of the way, and I can stop harping on the subject?"
Ash should feel privilaged, though likely he cannot yet see that. The safest place for him, the least likely place for injury, is with the instructor.
