[better safe than sorry, after all, right? people have learned to defend themselves in multiple ways, especially those who may seem more vulnerable than others; the joke here is that sizhui looks like one of them but, if anyone were to test their mettle against him, they'd be shocked to learn he's rather proficient in swordplay and musical battle magic. what's fortunate for them both, however, is that sizhui's not looking to fight anyone unless it's absolutely necessary to their mission of orb retrieval, and engaging wrench in a battle doesn't seem mandatory. (actually, he imagines the man is one of his ‘teammates’ aboard this space station, so it'd be best if he didn't make enemies with his allies!) regardless, it won't hurt being prepared for anything that might come his way.
to be fair, they shouldn't worry so much about who's a threat and who isn't: they ought to focus more on settling in and gaining their bearings within a new setting instead. at least he finally decides how to sit, both legs lifting, crisscrossing one over the other and his hands resting on his knees while he observes this ‘felix’ person. he does seem rather vexed for one reason or another, which is questionable in and of itself, but even more-so when it seems like the individual he's talking to has done nothing wrong except... explain who she is, what she's doing then asking a simple question afterward.]
Ah, I do see what you mean... [does he fully understand? no, not really, yet it won't keep him from trying to do so anyhow. a faint smile quirks his lips, he nods in agreement and,] I am. I've never experienced anything like this before, so please forgive me if I misstep.
