That look is more than familiar to Shun for multiple reasons, and though he's not the reassuring type, basic fact doesn't fall under the same umbrella. "Make friends with someone with a big enough dragon to fly on, then. All the advantages with none of the disadvantages."

It's a little pragmatic worded like that, but Shun figures most people don't just make friends to use people anyway, so he doesn't need to make the clarification.

Eying the offered hand briefly as if unused to the gesture, Shun reaches out to return the handshake after a moment. His grip is firm and confident, and his palms rather rough. The handshake is kept short and straightforward on his end - he isn't much for physical contact longer than he has to.

"You seem more sociable than me, at least, so it might be easier settling into this kind of living. Getting dumped into close quarters with strangers could've gone a hell of a lot worse than it did for me."
