[ Miles is definitely focused more on the pods in front of him. But - he's also quite unaffected by them, strangely. Or perhaps that's not such a strange reaction to have upon first coming here.

He pauses, though, as Jim speaks up. Refocusing on him, dulling his bright curiosity a bit in deference to his obvious mood. He's a steamroller, not an asshole. Miles is also a very short young man, with obvious bone deficiencies contributing to his height of 4'8". Despite that, though, he's clearly in a military academy uniform. ]
