[And the Handler does give Steph a subtle once over, though not quite so subtle as to be unnoticeable, her eyes moving back to Giovanni for a moment, as though considering whether Steph's injuries could possibly have been his doing. But if that is what she's thinking, it seems to be a thought that's quickly dismissed.

Well, that's fair, they do get terribly messy sometimes, when they get going. And I'm glad to hear it was no trouble. I worried for a moment there on learning a Company pilot was stranded alone with a Dog, but then they told me it was 68 and I knew you'd be all right. Nice and obedient that one, aren't you, 68? and briefly, her eyes go to him again.]

Yes, Ma'am.

[His voice is cool and clipped, indifferent.

Pity about Kevin, though. It was his first week on the job. she shrugs, seems to let it go surprisingly quickly, considering, We'll get that shipment loaded onto the vehicles and get you back to what passes for civilisation on this moon. Have someone take a look at your leg. You have Kevin's Dog Bite?]

[Steph bites her tongue so hard she tastes blood, trying to keep her cool with this woman is talking to Giovanni so condescendingly. There's nothing she can say that will change anything, and she has a feeling if she shows too much consideration for Gio, it will get them both in trouble, which is the last thing she wants.

So she bites her tongue, tastes blood, and keeps her expression neutral bordering on relieved.]

Thank you, ma'am. It's in the cockpit, I managed to retrieve it after he was shot, would you like me to get it for you?

[That's one of the last things she wants to do, but there isn't a whole lot of choice.]

[If you would. I'll do a brief check of the area then return to the vehicle, you can bring it over when you're ready, a quick smile, and she turns her attention back to Giovanni then, motions him forward with a subtle movement of her hand, heel, 68..

The Dog moves as bidden, and whilst he says nothing to either party his eyes move quickly to Steph and then away again, something there in his expression, some quiet form of communication. But it's a fleeting thing, and he's walking past her with smooth even movements, his face an unreadable mask. Follows his Handler away from her.]
