Kol paused, frowning, then nodded. "Because, as far as I'm concerned, and you've proved it in your actions, you're a member of the TEC, not the Advent. And, frankly, the crew knows better than to try any hijinks, be it violent or not."<br/><br/>His hand continued to stroke Kiri's hair, letting her relax as he sipped from the juice, leaving his comlink on the small table in front of them, in case anyone needed to contact him. "Now, why don't you tell me what happened?"<br/><br/>He smiled down at Kiri, letting her feel comfortable, knowing full well that once the Advent fleet committed its main body to attacking, they wouldn't have time to try to futz about with anyone's brains.
