Lucius starts as a muffin lifts from the plate of its own accord but, overall, gathers himself before he freaks out. (Growth, that's what this is.) He watches it float until Ava materializes around it, peering down at him from her curtain of pretty brown hair. Lucius's immediate reaction is to beam up at her.

"Good morning!" He is extremely peppy, which is odd, because he is just about the laziest man in the world and it is very early. It doesn't make sense unless you know he's from a time that significantly predates electricity and thus: anything to stay up late doing apart from, well, the one thing he's not doing on this boat.

"Looking...a bit like a squid from this angle," Lucius says cheerfully and tilts his head to try and line it up with how hers is. He fails.
