Chuck doesn't do a lot right in his life - not outside of piloting the Jaeger whose conn-pod they're currently standing in. He's well aware it's what he's best at because it's been (mostly) his personal choice to make it so. He's practiced, worked and fought for this spot and to be so entirely out of his element leaves him floundering a little.

It's only natural that he reverts back to what he knows, even if it isn't exactly what a girl might want.

But she seems pleased and it warms him to his core that maybe he's done this right, and he drops a kiss to her forehead and grins.

"Yeah? Don't bring anyone up here. Not really allowed, but I wouldn't bring 'em up anyway, even if they were."

He's trying to say she's the first, she's the only, but it's not coming out correctly.
