In the end I guess it's not my job to second-guess the Admiral. If he's here he's accomplishing something.
[..Right? Right? That's how this works, it's all purposeful even if he doesn't see the bigger picture..!]
I ran into him for a bit when we were on the cruise ship. Went swimming. He seemed alright, but I hadn't really approached it from a worker and boss kind of position. Guess I'll see how things go.
[Shaw snorts lightly at the word boss - she's certain that Trevor doesn't see himself that way - but otherwise she reigns in the snark. She doesn't despise Trevor or anything - she's not bullshitting about them getting alone fine on an interpersonal level. But professionally, they're complete opposites, and she always has to rag on him at least a little.]
One last thing. I'm, uh-- not great at talking about myself, and I'm a pretty simple person. But if there's anything you wanna know about me that you don't already, you can ask, and I'll probably answer. I also want to be up front about the fact that I have a personality disorder, and I don't do emotion well.
[His eyebrows rise slightly. She seemed perfectly normal to him and not disordered in any way; was that a reflection on his idea of normal, or..]
You seem alright at it to me. You'd fit right in back home.
[She's more emotive than some!]
Maybe different worlds have different ideas of what's typical. I'm curious, about your line of work and what your world's like, the usuals, but I don't mind waiting. Or not finding out. Mysteries make the world go 'round.

He's not gonna give you crap or treat you badly, whether you end up with him as your supervisor or not.
