His answer confused her momentarily until he began explaining what he meant. "I..." she hesitated for a moment, not sure what to say. "You're taking on a lot for one person.... More then what one person should." She looked up at him and when she spoke she sounded concerned "You deserve to be happy, and I don't exactly like the fact that you are not." She thought for a moment, taking a sip of her drink while she did so, She found she was quite enjoying the taste of it. She wasn't normally a drinker, but compared to the normal selection they had available on Padua, it was a nice change. She was also enjoying the tipsy feeling it was giving her, for the first time in a while she felt completely at easy. "What is it that you enjoy doing... When you aren't working on projects such as this?"
She grinned at his comment about the dreadnought, "As long as you know that while you are here, you're safe then it'll be ok. You have my word on that too, regardless of what ends up happening."
