( The NLU taught her not to make assumptions based on appearances. Termina added on a few lessons. Still, it all adds up to the Captain being an imposing figure, even if Abella technically takes up more space.

She obliges, moving across the space. Her overalls are all practicality, have seen years of hard work, and while she feels less shy when she is wearing them, when she is working, right now it's hard not to be aware of the disparity between them and the sharp, elegant practicality of the Captain. The flicker of discomfort doesn't make it to her expression. )

Thank you for letting me come by on such short notice. It looks like you have a lot you're doing, so I can drop these off and get out of your hair, if you aren't due for a break.

( Abella holds out a box, patterned in blue and white and a little dented. )

I don't know if people here smoke cigarettes or use pipes or a different method, but it's a full pack. I'm sorry I got carried away.
