Fredericks stared at the man. He was flabbergasted. He hadn't expected the captain to just go ahead and dismiss him. The additional week's pay was nice but at the same time - almost an insult. Was the man daft? Pursing his lips in anger, he kept it from overtaking him. His voice level, slightly cold, he spoke. "Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. And don't expect me to come back when you find yourself having issues repairing your airship." He gave Estella a cold look before turning. "I'll have my stuff of your ship in ten minutes." He said. 

Estella watched him go surprised and a bit guilty. She hadn't meant to get him fired. She should be the one going. He probably had more experience and despite his seeming incompetence in his orders, might have fixed it up quicker than she. She didn't say anything as he left. Her usual chipper self a bit subdued. As Rebeca talked to the other two, eventually leading them off, she found herself alone with the captain. A bit nervous she waited to see what he had in store for her.

Roger smiled. He glanced at Bea. "Tea sounds good to me." He looked back at Rebeka. "Thank you." 

He escorted Bea toward the entrance, letting her go first, bringing up the rear. He was a bit glad that they were excluded for the tussle and that no one had said anything. It was always a bit awkard listening to someone else get chewed out. Of course, he had seen it before and would undoubtedly again. Still...

"So how is the airship doing?" He asked as they made their way through the narrow corridors. 

They passed the ex-mechanic who stood in one of the corridors, his bag slung over his shoulder waiting for them to pass. His eyes narrowed slightly at Rebeka but he didn't say anything to her. He did speak quietly though when Roger passed. "Better watch it. The ship will crash without a decent mechanic." He warned before heading back out.

Roger nodded but didn't comment. Will was pretty good and Roger doubted that he'd take the ship up unless he knew for certain it was ready. Especially now that he didn't have a main mechanic.
