Stark met her stare with one of his own, reading every aspect of her being in an effort to learn more of the stuff of which she was made. “It’s always a pleasure to meet someone until proven otherwise” he repeated getting a feel for the words she had said. “You have a very disarming perspective on a universe that seems of late hell-bent on wiping us out,” he put up a clawed paw stabbed the air once as he thought and then put it down again, “As to a plan to prove you otherwise, no, my plan is always and ever to find out more about those who I serve alongside. It is other’s who seem to distrust me instinctively, can I ask why your reaction to me was different, or is it rooted in your first statement?”

While Jessica typically had fairly good posture, she seemed to straighten herself even more behind her crossed arms. “I make my own conclusions about people.” Her reply was simple, but her tone firm. Tapping on the teal trim on her uniform, she continued, “my personal optimism about the universe and the beings in it aside, it would do a disservice to my profession for me to draw conclusions prematurely.” She paused again, the previous amusement returning to her features as she smirked. “So far I’ve learned you think the universe is out to get you.” She winked and shook her head lightly, her ponytail absorbing the movement and swishing slightly.

He smiled broadly and winked back his dark eyes twinkling, “But it is my dear, it most definitely is, and the only way I’ve managed to beat the odds is to see the bullet coming long before it arrives which is why I find your outlook to be so absolutely fascinating. For someone with your outlook to still be alive feeds the fire for the search of something of a divine protector, I take my hat off to you”. He gave a little bow and flipped his tail into a paw as he did so in a strangely ritualistic gesture, “Or at least I would if I had a hat on right now”.

Jessica shook her head slightly before smirking. “A hat would be a good look for you,” she commented idly, her green eyes dancing in amusement. “A black fedora, most likely, although I could see a light gray being an interesting contrast.” Pulling her ponytail over her shoulder, she mirrored the ritualistic gesture in a way, running her hand down it slowly as she eyed Nightstalker one more time. “While I appreciate the welcoming committee, I’d like to get my evaluation completed so I can report for duty. See you around, Commander?” Her wry smirk faded into a more genuine smile as she let go of her ponytail and offered her hand out to shake.
