He'd never expect that some stray runner from Corellia would bring out the best in anybody much less someone like her. He'll talk and play himself up, especially when looking for work, but he rarely feels all that confident. It's the dichotomy of him.
The way she holds him back and twists to fetch something behind them has him confused for a moment, but smiling afterward. Those little gestures of people looking out for him touch him pretty deeply. It's what he's thinking of when he answers the follow-up question. "Feels like it."
He's not ... sure what his destination is anymore, but he definitely feels like he's traveling in the right direction. That's a weird feeling for him. It always seemed like he had things pretty well mapped out until right before he arrived in the Nexus. Who knows. Joyful abandon could be the next stop.
He takes them right up to the dartboard and begins plucking the metal tipped projectiles out of the board. "So, either for the first time or as a quick refresher, the center is the bullseye and the rows that fan out around it are called 'wedges'. The number on the outside is the point value of each wedge." He's been pointing everything out as he's been explaining.
"This ring on the outside of the wedges means your points or marks have doubled and the ring in the middle of the wedges means they've tripled." And he thinks he's done for a moment before he suddenly remembers to add, "the middle of the bullseye is a double too."
