There were four potential reasons off the top of her head.<br/>He wanted to keep her away from the Davions during the trip to the feast. Unlikely as none of them appeared to be a threat to her of course it could be to protect them from her...<br/>She almost giggled at that thought...<br/><br/>The other option was he was part of ISF and here to go support her on her assignment. That was possible, though unlikely. Particularly in the fact that if he was, he had just given away his position within the LAAF.<br/>The other option was that he wanted something form her, form Kurita.  That was probable he knew she was arriving and of course there was a possibility that it was some setup to undermine her or the Dragon.<br/><br/>She considered the officers mention of the battle involving the pirates, the houses putting aside their differences to combat a shared enemy... and his comments solely to her.<em>"The enemy of my enemy is my friend,  I wonder how many realize that as soon as I no longer have another enemy, I no longer need the friend." </em>Was it a warning? an offer for an alliance?  Perhaps there were rumblings of another clash between the houses on the planet... Perhaps he wanted to prevent that bloodshed but why confide in her and not the Davions?<br/><br/><strong>“Well I could assume it’s not simply to chat about our Davion friends, most obviously you want or need my assistance in some endeavor,” </strong>She said her gaze returning to the view out of the VTOL’s cockpit,<strong>“Of course why you want the Dragon’s assistance and why you would expect to  have it is another matter. Of course though it would be impolite of me to speculate on your motives since we have just met...Kommandant.”</strong>She said her attention finally returning to the LAAF pilot as she waited for his reaction to her statement before she continued.<br/><br/><strong>"Friends are earned, Kommandant; by honor and deeds. Friends of convenience are... allies and are expendable but often unreliable."</strong>Her eyes narrowing just a hint as she studied him. Perhaps this place was going to be more interesting that she had thought.<br/>
