"I'm here as long as I deem necaccary" She takes a moment to chuckle to herself. "One of the bigger bonus' of being in command I suppose but don't worry, I have quarters onboard the Pride"

"Heh...I see...so how is it as commander of such a ship? I think something that's for sure are the tasks of being patient and efficient while working at the bridge, right?"
He took a sip of the cup of coffee, still focused on Scarlet, what she is going to tell him. He knows, that she is experienced at all when it comes to such things and let a curious expression cross his face.
"It is, at times, imensely frustrating. A lot of the time you have to put absolute trust in your officers, and any mistakes as a consequence of thier actions are your fault and problem. Regardless of whether or not they did as ordered. On top of that, being stuck on the bridge while any unforseen problem occurs, battle damage, fires, sickness, is testing, to say the least. Your first reaction and urge is to rush to oversee the incident."
By the time she's finished talking, scarlet sounds somewhat exasperated, rubbing the bridge of her nose absently.

"I think...faults are only human. It makes us what we are. Did you have a problem with somebody? You are looking....worried, somehow..."
He keeps focusing on her eyes, trying to make her smile a bit more as he noticed, she is thinking about something.
"So...I guess you didn't come here to do some paperwork...yeah. I have the whole day free today...so I have bloody much time. How is the coffee by the way? The bartender says it would be one of the best in that area of space..."
"Coffee, was a good call, thank you." She spares him a smile for a moment, before dropping back into a brooding disposition. "There has been a few problems, nothing beyond our ability to handle. Thank you."

Scarlet shrugs, guesturing towards the doorway at nothing in particular.
"There are still many Order who shoot first, and ask questions later. After your Admiral gave us leave to fire in defense of stubborn fools... Well. We've had to take down a..."
Scarlet clears her throat and shrugs, draining the remaining liquid and staring into the empty depths of her cup.

"Oh...that incident. Yeah, I remember. I was on the Eclipse with Sombrero when that Cruiser shot the pulse guns on the Pride....or was that...wait.....Sombrero told me something about an Osiris that attacked....is that true?"
He seems a bit surprised. In all honesty Lennox expected something better from the Order captains. Thinking about why some Order's are still shooting across space even if there is no enemy, he sighs, looking back at Scarlet.
"But you didn't take too much damage I hope? You don't seem like you are injured or so....."
"We're fine, the shields took the most of it, it was an Order carrier, a Geb, and in the end we had to return fire. The captain wasn't very compitent I'm afraid... Though I guess we're lucky he was. He closed to close range, where the Prides armour showed us through."
Looking up at Lennox with a grimnace, she studies him closely, as though to guage his reaction.

He looks into her eyes with a bit more serious look, like being sligthly angry about what happened.
"It seems there are still some in our lines who aren't aware of how we handle our politics....I am sorry about that captain. There are a lot of them who are acting like they are bosses about combat and territory. And I am glad to hear there were not more captains like that around..."
He takes a moment, still focused on her eyes, and sighs briefly before continueing.
"And it's good to see you here....unfortunately I had to leave space after some minutes of being present during that cruiser incident....maybe it would have been preventable when the Eclipse would have been there..."
