Kip watched the scene happily. He enjoyed watching Kai and Elena together, happy after their reunion, and naturally he loved spending time around Harm even if she didn't know he was there. The interaction of some of the most important people in the ship to his eyes, was priceless.
He was so happy in fact he cancelled a complex array of pranks he'd planned for the engineering section including a hot air balloon. He was feeling to happy with creation to play tricks.
However their was darkness as well, for he could tell from his many sensors, what Kai was thinking, not from his thoughts, but from his pupil dilation, heart rate, body language, and a hundred other signals, that allowed him to judge what Kai was feeling. Kip didn't like it, but trusted Kai to keep his feelings to himself.
He did consider going and joining the table, and indeed was likely going to if the opurtunity to came up.
But for now it was enough to watch.
