Carina watched his face, noticing his faraway expression as his voice somewhat trailed off. She wasn't sure if he even realised it, but for a second he appeared to be looking through her as if she didn't exist. She gnawed slightly on the corner of her lip pensively. There was something her fellow recruit wasn't sharing, but she didn't feel it was her place to pry it out of him. His business was his own, as was hers; some things just weren't suitable for idle conversation. They'd only just formally met, anyway. "Yeah," she said half-consciously. An awkward pause hovered over them for a few seconds as they sat there staring off into space.

Her legs tensed for a brief instant as she prepared to down the last of her coffee and say her farewell to escape, but she then remembered she had nowhere else to be at the moment. Her ship wouldn't be anywhere near ready yet. Where would she go? The station wasn't that big. Almost immediately she relaxed back into her seat again and tapped her finger absently on the side of her mug.

She cleared her throat quietly. "They make any mention to you who you'd be assigned to on patrol yet?" she asked.
