She raised her eyebrows at Alex like a disapproving older sister, "Didn't I warn you about bringing home strays?" She said calmly and sighed rubbing her jaw in irritation. "Fine. But if we're constantly being hunted because of her, I'll throw her out the air lock, don't think I won't." She said simply pointing at him. "You handle it. Cuz you know I'll have no problem handling it myself, it just won't have the results you want." She said and then moved past him, clapping a hand on his shoulder as she moved to the cockpit.<br/><br/>"Say 'thank you', Alyx." she said with a smirk on her lips. It was a joke, but at the same time, it wasn't. She was giving him a chance to handle things his way, instead of charging in and handling it like Mama Bear would. And she was getting ready to start up the engine. Both things he should be thankful for. She sat down in the pilots seat, and tilted her cheek up slightly, seeing if he'd take the playful hint.
