[ Jojen's tired. That's the telling-not-showing understatement of the century. Dark circles have found their place under moss green eyes and while the boy is vaguely good at hiding how not good he generally feels, he's doing a bad job of it right now. He's had a couple of locals pull him into handshakes, one even drew him into a hug. After it all, all they could do is match the weathered frown that was plastered on his face. He has his suspicions that it isn't because he barely gripped their hands back or even because he fell almost motionless into the hug he'd been given. No, it looks like they know something they shouldn't.

He's heard the talk. The fleet gave him a bottle of white tablets, told him to take them when he felt tired, when he felt ill. They smelled off to Jojen, and his normal sense of bravado about not dying disappeared the moment he was plucked from his usual surroundings and dropped into new ones. Starships? Space? Other planets? So the bottle of pills stays tucked away in his pocket as he walks on, heavily leaning on a walking stick. He is being a little bit stubborn, or maybe he's depressed.

Should he even entertain the idea of false hope?

Sweat's beginning to cling to his brow, and maybe it's because he's wearing so many layers. Or maybe it isn't; he looks like he's cold, despite not being to the touch at all.

Ew. Hope that's not contagious. ]

Fleet

Dirty blond hair had gone un-brushed, like it usually had, despite today being completely different to every day Jojen normally knew. His fear didn't show, not in the way sullen green eyes had observed his surroundings, taking things in he understood somehow, like he'd seen it in one of his dreams, but this made even less sense than his dreams did sometimes. The boy looked odd, no doubt, but there wasn't exactly a newbie air about him, he was far too calm for it.

He ended up feeling like he had gone in a complete circle on one of the decks, though it was hard to tell when things look so similar to him. He was taking a moment to rest against one of the walls when movement brought his attention up and towards someone else. Acting inconspicuous didn't really work when the person trying to blend in stuck out like a sore thumb, but he'd be damned if he wasn't going to try. At least he didn't look scared or anxious like a lot of the new ones probably tended to, just solemn.

Wildcard??
