For her part, Lei was as silent and inscrutable throughout most of the briefing as most members of the Bones would have come to expect. The petite Chinese woman took everything in, from her post beside the door, Elizabeth's perky nipples, Robert's review of the log, and especially the impertinence of two of the rookies.<br/><br/>Lei was a subtle presence until that moment, quietly confident, but if anyone had been paying attention to her they would have seen one eyebrow arch and a faint tensing of muscles. Especially when Lei though she detected some disrespect aimed directly at Erich. Lei had been raised in the rigid hierarchy of Warrior House Fujita, modeled after the samurai of old Earth, and in the Capellan Confederation; questioning superiors was just not done in Lei's mind. She often found the mercenaries undisciplined, but Ivan and Brooklyn's outbursts were beyond the pale. Lei hoped they would both be disciplined harshly, Brooklyn more even so after his second show of how little self-discipline he had.<br/><br/>She gave them both her best (and it was good) thousand yard stare as the rookies filed out of the briefing room. Lei waited patiently by the door till she was the last one out, then followed them to the commissary, taking the opportunity to check out a few of their behinds; Lei was still a young woman, after all.
