Aeryn wasn't sure how Mara would react to Hallowette, but when the COS laughed, Aeryn took it as a good sign, especially with how Mara then spoke to the newest crew member. That wasn't the end, as Mara belied her reputation by smiling good-naturedly, and told Hallowette to call her by her first name, something Aeryn had done upon meeting the Tac officer. It didn't stop there, and for someone who knew Mara well, it was fun to see who she really was come out to play, especially when she teased them both.
It was the kind of back and forth that Aeryn had come to enjoy being on this ship, and from being friends with the Bandaran, as she waited to see how Hallowette would take all of this. To some, Mara might appear intimidating, but at the same time, she was a fierce, loyal, and protective friend who Aeryn knew would fight her corner when she needed it. Not that Aeryn had anything to be worried about, as Hallowette laughed in response, which again was only positive as the younger officer continued teasing.
The redhead found it all very amusing, even if some of it was at her own expense, but that was the point of being around friends, and having a laugh even more so with the upcoming mission.
" I might have escaped, but I'd rather have this kind of company any day, and I taught you well", she quipped at the end, knowing that Mara had done a great job alongside her and as her replacement.
