[That'll do. He hovers close enough to the door to catch it if the wind decides to rattle the untested barricade away. But after it seems to hold through a few good gusts, he risks letting it stand to meet Allura a little further inside, where she's still peering at the Transistor.
He's not huge on the scrutiny—but again, he's kind of had to adjust. Easily enough—]
Not one I get very much.
[Recognition, that is. Definitely not around here, where tech level likes to hover several dozen rungs under Cloudbank standard to start. Huh. (He's tempted to wonder why that might be, if it means anything that it rings familiar to her—they've got more questions about the Transistor than they have answers, really, even now. He's just largely stopped asking them in favor of getting by with what he's got.) The wistfulness in that observation reads as homesick to him. Which...well. Can't much blame her. Especially if she's new. Of course, when he thinks ship, he definitely doesn't jump straight to the space kind. So, (mock) apologetically, as he shakes the rainwater off the collar of his coat—]
Don't think it'd do you much good on the water, though...

[(Sorry.) But it's invitation enough to go on.]
