Yunho considers himself a rather level-headed (er, not really a mer now, is he, and he's not exactly human as well, still)... quartermaster of the Destiny. He gets along well with the crew members, does his job dutifully, spares a friendly banter with his boatswain- and occasionally, only occasionally, that he thinks about the two people whose lives he has saved... and who are precious to him.
