He hadn't been expecting it seeing as how this woman looked like she had an idea of what she was doing around here, but it's certainly not a bad thing either. They could always use the extra hands on board, nothing wrong with that. Especially good fighters, they had at least two that they needed to make up for.

"One of them is an experienced sailor and privateer and most of us are fighters, so despite being new arrivals we'll know exactly what we're doing." The break of attention elsewhere tells him he's not the only one awkward with situations like this, so that's another bonus. If it can even be called that. He doesn't even pretend to think it over, that would be such a douche move.

"So if you want, you're welcome to join us. It'll be a few days before we set sail while we gather supplies." And the vast majority of the crew are women, but this one seems more calm than some of the others. Hopefully she doesn't mind the more eccentric types. "Name's Captain Dirk Strider, would be Cap'n Di-Stri if my crew knew how to be cool." But they don't, so he's mostly given up on that title for now. Never hurts to try.
