"You're cute when you're embarrassed. But alright. You'll have to tolerate the fact that it's all shady blackmarket arrangements, plenty of people in Liberty who are after quick and easy cash, and with no compunction for who they might be dealing with. Our sources all operate on Pittsburgh, I'll forward you their details." It was a mix of things she probably didn't want to hear and something she did ask for. But she was given both anyway, clearly speaking his mind was something he couldn't prohibit himself from doing. And at least in that regard, he'd also gone ahead and made up his mind on a few things.
Her defense mechanism was hard not to notice with how often she'd been doing it, changing subject and instead deflecting to something work related. It helped spare her from anything that might be social. She obviously had her reasons for doing it, but he didn't expect to find out why right now. It was something he'd have to gradually get to know about her. "Anything else about the ship? If not, let me know when you're free next and we'll get you those drinks you wanted." He'd been here for quite a while now, and while he had enjoyed staying and talking to her, people were going to start talking about them if this kept up. There was also the fact that his continued presence might be perceived as impolite, since this was her space. And while she hadn't concluded things or asked him to leave yet, it was better if it didn't have to come to that.
