Yaeko glanced down at the floor as Silic spoke. She knew that he was going to be upset with her, she just didn't expect him to get this angry. When he finished speaking she did the only thing that popped into her head. The moment he was finished Yaeko jumped up and embraced him.
"Oh Silic..." She held the hug for a few seconds before taking a step back. "You know I didn't mean it like that. I said what needed to be said. I'm not upset with you at some slight mistake." Yaeko's voice was now softer and gentler. "What upset me was that I repeatedly tried to get a status report from you and and issue you orders, but every time you ignore me."
"And how could you think that I've tried to harm you?" Yaeko's expression and tone now showed that she was obviously hurt by what he had said. "Now, I'm not perfect either, you've had a couple of burns to prove it, but the one thing I was always concerned about was keeping us safe. Never once did I put us in imminent danger. Sure I fly like a maniac, but it kept us alive. And can you blame me? I'm not a pilot Silic, I never was, I was trained as a god damned Communications Specialist for crying out loud, a Starship Operator." Her voice started to become harsh again, and much more defensive. "If you've felt personally victimized by my actions then say so, and in the future say so when I make those actions, but don't think to stack things on me like that."
She took a breath, trying to calm herself before she continued. "As for Anne, her actions are not your fault, nor is her punishment. She defied a direct order and went blindly running into that compound for you, my only medic. While it may be because of the relationship that you two have, it's not your fault and I'm not punishing her because of what you did. Her actions are her own and I will not divert the blame to you so that you can protect her."
