" You're probably not the only one who is going to be surprised by me changing departments" Aeryn replied softly as her girlfriend rested her head against her shoulder. There was a lot of truth behind the redhead's response, remembering Damian's reaction to it when she had first discussed it with him. When Beka continued, Aeryn smiled as she thought about the research station, and how she had always loved getting her hands dirty through developing her love of Botany.
" Something like that, my love of Botany started as early as I can remember, and all I wanted was to be a Botanist, but things didn't quite work out that way. But now I have the chance to rediscover all of that and pursue something different".
Despite the initial doubts and wondering if she could pull this off, Aeryn had to remind herself of how it all had begun, and how going back to her science roots was going to be worth it. As Beka sat up and spoke about Mara, Aeryn understood her girlfriend's reaction and why she ultimately wanted to change that perspective, having been privy to both sides of the story. Upon hearing Beka's request, Aeryn didn't have to think about it, because it would only be a good thing for her and Mara to clear the air, and work out any grievances, especially since they both mattered to Aeryn.
" Of course, I can help with that. I would like nothing better than for you two to get on".
Whatever that took to make it happen, Aeryn would try her best to facilitate the ceasefire between the two women. Then the subject changed momentarily when Beka reacted to Aeryn's surprise. " We can definitely pretend that we have champagne, as I've been promoted to Lieutenant Commander".
