The only thing he could think of as he came closer, listening to everybody give vague, ominous threats to this mere child, was shame. Even if it was meant in jest, as a fun joke, it seemed inappropriate to threaten to kill a child, especially one as apparently nervous as this. For shame, truly. Or perhaps he was over-reacting and his fatherly instincts, which he had despite having no sex drive, were making him pass unnecessary judgement. He would have to wait and see what the future held, how this child reacted to the barrage of meaningless nonsense that could potentially cause the girl to burst into tears, which nobody needed right now. "All subjects require teaching. Speech to lone, nervous child on border, unnecessarily violent," said the spider, smaller than your average cat but huge for an arachnid, as liable as any threat of death to make a child cry. Unfortunately. Hopefully he wasn't made out to be a hypocrite. As the child spoke once more, staring down at the paws that seemed not to want to be anchored in reality, he tried to figure out what to say to her. Probably not best to ask about the noncorporeal thing, or about how she got here - she wanted to join, so he supposed he would just let her feel like she got something out of her life, that she could have a little bit of a home here in this out of place hellhole. "Doubt any subject has problem with subject Kiira joining. Welcome. Abathur Everman, nurse - can help with any medical problems subject has, regardless of relative low rank in medical staff." It was mostly due to his lack of activity in recent time, he reasoned, and possibly because he hadn't had much opportunity to prove his skill. Why else would he be considered just a nurse?
He still did worry about this child, though, even when he was reasoning about his standing.
