In normal conversation, there would be reciprocity. One person would speak, the other would listen to what they were saying and respond to it. The problem for Faye was that these openings he was giving her led down paths she had pretty much already decided were not open to him. Well, she supposed to could give in a bit. Carefully. Selectively.

It figured he was… had been a Marine. It actually made a lot of sense and filled in the gaps. And whether it was his personality or whatever training was drilled into the marine corps, Faye understood it to be perhaps a small part of the reason they butted heads so easily. As least she was unexpectedly consistent in that regard. “I certainly hadn’t planned on joining Starfleet. It was never one of those things as an adolescent that I went, ‘yep, I’m pinning all my hopes and dreams on this one thing’, and if I had…” She actually laughed slightly and shook her head. What a crazy life that would have been. And given the one she had led thus far, that was saying something.

Luke actually enjoyed seeing her laugh, even if it was only slightly. “Well, I can only wonder what you might have gotten up to if you had gone on with your hopes and dreams. Who knows maybe you still will.” He leaned back in his seat. “I suppose I should leave you in peace Lieutenant. I’m glad we had this conversation, the last time we met just didn’t sit well with me.” The security officer offered her a smile readying himself to leave.

That he had put any thought into it at all was a bit surprising, but Faye just snorted. “Well, it would hardly be the first instance where I’ve had the effect. I’m not here expecting to be everyone’s favourite person.” She spread her fingers out and gave a half wave. “Night,” she said simply.
