She wasn't the best at reading emotion but she could tell he was taking this hard and the situation with Rendyl was probably the icing on the worlds worse cake but he was still shoving it aside or done with trying to deal with it. She had to admire him for that since he had kept it together while for once, she hadn't been able too. Sure, the crew hadn't actually seen her rampage through the halls but it had happened and she wasn't sure how to face that it had happened. Her focus on him wavered as she noticed the woman sitting across from them gave a tiny wave with a sheepish smile which Luirae actually returned with a small wave of her hand, though a smile didn't find a way to her lips but that wasn't something she found herself doing often even without the events that occurred. It was a rare treat for her to share because that would be like showing her weaknesses. She had emotions but if shown, they could be used against her which is why their race avoided such things. [color=palegreen]"You have my word that she will not leave my sight. You can trust her with me...."[/color] Rae answered softly before looking at Tony and adding, [color=palegreen]"us."[/color] She had faith in Tony and knew that he would follow the orders as well. Raymond pushed off the wall and she felt her hand twitch to put a hand on his shoulder for support at the hint of sadness that was echoing in his logical statement that would have sounded more normal coming from her than from him. Luirae felt her fingers curl into a fist, effectively stopping her from doing so and letting him walk out of the room. Hopefully, Valanx would be able to provide more answers with the inspection of the cryo-pod. They all needed that right now and the more information they had...the smoother the talk with the committee would be. She felt Tony's eyes on her which made her vivid orange irises to return the gaze, knowing he was gauging her though she was not sure how much she was giving away at the moment. It wasn't a comforting thought, that was for sure. [color=ff7733]"Do you have questions for her?"[/color] She turned her eyes to the other woman for a brief second before they moved back to Tony and her head shook gently. She didn't want to interrupt them and it looks like they were truly enjoying each other conversation. It would be better to have Rendyl at ease then ask her questions that she might not be able to answer. Rae suddenly felt a swell of appreciation for her crewmate as he spoke out loud as well as signed since it kept her in the loop of their conversation. It made her realize that he had let her chat with the captain and now that she was not distracted, he had made her a part of it. Rae saw her shrug at the questions asked and wondered if her joining the conversation had made it turn sour. The glances her way had made Rae think she might be correct but at the same time, Luirae was the only one of her race that was off planet. It was not the first time people had stared or tried to figure her out. Humans tended to do it more than most is what she had found. She didn't have more time to debate on that as a loud growl from Rendyl's stomach drew her out of her thoughts and to the captain's last statement before leaving the med-bay. [color=palegreen]"At least that is a language I can understand without words.'[/color]Rae stated before continuing to speak,[color=palegreen]"Do either of you have objections in moving the conversations to the kitchens? We have not found a replacement cook but my cooking skills aren't lacking in any case. I feel we could all use a comforting meal."[/color] That being said, she started to head for the doorway and waiting for the other two to follow or at least Rendyl to if the questioning was coming to a stop.
