Rachel calmly turns and watches Olivia return, and speaking in that same hurried, nervous voice begin shooting off questions left and right.
Chuckling quietly, she replies in a smooth voice. "Calm down, rushing everything will not accomplish anything my dear."
The ending 'my dear' almost seeming to be a habit to her.
"Slow down, and take things one at a time. I'd be glad to see the labs, although above all things, i'd like to see someone not slaving and worrying about myself. I've been through much worse. Some little things are no problem."
Taking a breath, watching Olivia carefully, even down to the little sway in how she stood in front of her.
"I've worked with men who would flat-out ignore you, even if you tried talking to them directly. Your concern is truly touching, although I actually prefer the other way around. I like to be left alone, to do my thing. To tell you the truth, I hate researching subjects. I'd much rather be doing other things, although due to some circumstances.. Thats not very possible. The only reason I keep doing what I do, is because i'm pretty good at it. Or so i'm told. I mean, Ion Colliders, and mini-singularity creation is easy, although apparently not so much to other people."
Taking a step closer to Olivia, placing both of her own hands behind her back. "You're the commander. I'm your guest. At least temporarily. Do as you'd like. What do you think is best, you show me around the ship? Or to leave me to this room yet again. It's your decision."
Eyeing her carefully, knowing full well what her words meant, however she has always been one to even warp her own words, in an attempt to figure more out about who she was talking to.
