[As soon as she's inside the ship, she feels a little better, a little safer in this space she's carved out for herself. It's Company owned, technically, but she's the only pilot, and it feels more like home than her apartment. One day soon she'll be able to buy it for herself.
For now, though, she leads Gio to the cockpit, tossing the Dog Bite into her own chair as if she's disgusted to even be touching the thing (she is) and leaning against the console instead. Aside from during the actual process of flying, Steph doesn't sit like a normal person.]
While I'm around, no one's gonna use that shit on you, okay? Not me, not anyone else.
[It feels like a useless platitude, when there's so much time she can't be around to protect him, but it's all she can offer.]
