At first Kat really wasnâ€™t sure what to make of it when she noticed the female cyborg had a hold of Ericâ€™s ear other than wonder what he did to make it angry with him. She winced in sympathy, knowing that had to be extremely uncomfortable and let out a quiet sigh of relief, smiling a bit, when the male cyborg told the female to stop. The male definitely seemed a lot more well behaved than the female did and it made her glad that she didnâ€™t have to go through what Eric was and it gave her space when she needed it instead of treating her like a child. Then again she really hasnâ€™t done anything to piss the male cyborg off to her knowledge aside from her playfulness at the beginning when she was first introduced to him. Or at least he didnâ€™t seem angry with her playfulness at the time anyway, she didnâ€™t want to question it though and just went with it. At least she didnâ€™t have to worry too much about not getting along with it despite being wary.<br/><br/>When Eric spoke, she turned her attention away from the cyborgs to listen to him, frowning slightly once he stepped into the hallway and mentioned cleaning. The frown vanished when she replied, â€œIâ€™ll gladly join you. Iâ€™m just as excited as ever to get started on some cleaning! The ship will be completely spotless once weâ€™re done. We might even cause the janitors and other cleaning crew members to lose their jobs.â€ Sarcasm rang in her tone as she smiled at Eric. In all honesty she was just trying to make her still somewhat emotional state less noticeable by being a bit humorous though her attempt was probably obvious. Kat really was too much of a serious woman when it came to work and sometimes her humor could seem odd or rather out of place. At least she was trying to be cheerful, though, and you canâ€™t really blame her for wanting to be in a better mood.<br/><br/>â€œDispleasing the captain is the last thing on my mind, trust me. Iâ€™ll get to work right away,â€ Kat gave the male cyborg a reassuring gaze, then spoke in a lower tone â€œIâ€™m sure you know this already, Iâ€™m not trying to insult you, but I really donâ€™t like procrastinating. I think Eric is starting to slowly rub off on me a bit, but rest assured I donâ€™t slack off. Iâ€™ll have a majority of the packet given to be done by the end of the day, hopefully.â€ Her goal was to have at least half of it done today that way she didnâ€™t have so much to do tomorrow. It was already mostly planned out in her head the order she was going to do things, always getting the hardest stuff out of the way first before taking on easier tasks. Since she was given the order to rest she knew she could not push herself and work how she wanted so it was going to be slow at first but she would manage.<br/><br/>She let the thought linger before she spoke to the cyborg again, â€œNo, I wonâ€™t push myself too hard while I work so donâ€™t worry about that.â€ Just in case it was to hold her back, she figured he might as well throw it out there that she didnâ€™t have the intentions of pushing herself. Being a fast pace worker was just something she was use to and not to mention she may as well enjoy the lighter work while she still could. Oh she was going to enjoy that larger packet, she was sure...<br/><br/>Moving past the cyborgs Kat then stepped outside into the hallway with Eric, smiling at him again, â€œWell then letâ€™s get started,â€ she told him. Her brief feigned excitement faded then and she took on a more serious expression once she set herself further into the working mindset. â€œI actually plan to get a fair bit done today, just to help me get my mind off things a lot easier.â€ She was slightly hesitant and spoke quieter when speaking the last bit but at least she knew Eric probably wouldnâ€™t mind since theyâ€™ve established they could be open with eachother.  â€œAnd, if you want to,â€ she continued, â€œwe could meet up for a bite to eat later on. Thatâ€™s entirely up to you though; Iâ€™m obviously not going to force you. Then again your cyborg seems to enjoy making sure you stay in line I couldnâ€™t help but notice, so that might be for her to decide. But I donâ€™t blame her since you can be a handful.â€ Just some more teasing, and she flashed a smile once again to show she was teasing, but also just making an observation as it did kind of amuse her.
