Faye was waiting for him in the corridor, her expression inquisitive. She normally would just leap right into whatever she had sitting in her head, but this time she just waited to see what his reaction was.

Cochrane came through and exhaled slowly and then leaned against the far bulkhead and folded his arms on his chest. “Well? Get what you needed?” he asked.

Late to the party having been informed of their presence Luke had decided to just make sure nobody was going to turn up with any bruises, “I’d ask but I’ve turned a new leaf and I know better.” He smiled and echoed the Captain, “I hope you got what you needed.” He flicked his wrist to tell the two brig officer to leave them and maintain their post inside the brig.

Cochrane nodded to the Security Chief. “Mr. Wyatt.” he said with the nod. Their interactions since the holodeck had been limited wholly to brief and coldly professional meetings. Those meetings were kept short and ended abruptly; but whether or not that was Alex or Luke’s doing was hard to tell… but probably closer to both.

Faye’s flicked between the two men and while there was a small detectable amount of tension present, this time it wasn’t coming from Faye. It was strange to be so calm. “I run and hide. It’s been my MO my whole life since the Dominion destroyed Tracken. As much as I’ve fought, people, the past, myself, it was a diversion tactic. I’ve been running away so long that it became unbearable to sit still and sit with myself. But there’s no running anymore. Not from this,” she said gesturing to the brig and the prisoner on the other side of the doors.” She shifted her gaze to Luke, whom she hadn’t seen since their… whatever you wanted to call it in the garden. “I said before there is a difference between running away and choosing to walk away. There’s also a difference between freezing and choosing to stay still with the discomfort. It’s messy right now, but I’m figuring out the nuance of it all.” With a smirk, she flicked her gaze back to Alex. “I’ve never been particular good with nuance but it’s proving to be a useful thing lately.”
