Instead of calling out for the door to open, Brad came to investigate the thunk.

“Oh, Cai. What’re you doing down here?” he asked when he saw his visitor.

The teen shrugged. “Marshall let me watch a surgery. I wanted to ask you something.” He glanced at the Chief of staff momentarily.

Cai

Brad raised an eyebrow in curiosity (and just a bit of internal alarm), but stepped aside and gestured for Cai to enter his office.

Cai followed and dropped into the seat before Brad’s desk.

“Alright then, ask away.”

“You and my sister are sort of friends right.” He started. “ Do you think I’ve maybe been not so nice about being not so ok about leaving earth and the whole Doug thing?”

Cai

Brad took a deep breath, then slowly released it. From his understanding of the situation, that was about as big an understatement as saying Romulus was currently only a bit broken, but for as much as teenagers often claimed they appreciated adults being direct with them, when adults were direct it tended to have adverse effects…

So he tried taking a diplomatic path.

“I think you could have handled it somewhat better, yes,” he began. “There’s a little bit of fault on both sides, on Willow for not giving your opinion more weight, yes, but also on you for not giving her side more consideration. Your sister likes being in space, she was given another opportunity to command after the incident on the Saracen I understand you share a little responsibility for, and she took it. She gave Doug the chance to come with her, but he didn’t want to go. You had to come because she’s still your guardian, regardless of how close to of-age you are.”
