Aeryn gave a sufficient amount of time before she looked up and acknowledged Lucy's presence. It wasn't to say that she didn't know what she was going to say to her proverbial problem child, but rather to let her stew a little bit more. At that instant, the CSO remembered ' hug gate' and the subsequent consequences of her being the one to give Lucy additional weapons training, and here they were again, having to deal with an issue, just because she didn't know what was appropriate or not.
" Give me one good reason why I don't assign you permanently to the delta shift" Aeryn began, maintaining the stern gaze that had appeared as she continued to look at Lucy. " I don't know what possessed you to think it was appropriate to suggest a drinking game in the middle of an already tense briefing, but I will not tolerate that kind of behaviour. I expect better from my officers, especially as said behaviour makes me look like I'm an incompetent DH".
Anger simmered underneath the surface, but unlike Devereaux, Aeryn knew when to keep her emotions in check and what to say when faced with a difficult situation.
" It also tells me that you haven't learned your lesson from your previous mistake, or at least that's what it looks like, and quite frankly, it's not acceptable, especially from someone of your rank".
The way Lucy acted reminded Aeryn of a fresh out of the Academy Midshipman, rather than a Lieutenant. A rank that Aeryn herself had shared with Lucy until recently.
" As far as I'm concerned, this is your final warning. Do you have anything to say for yourself?".
