Freya smiled, and nodded when Tamara thanked her for sharing what she had brought back from the jungle. "We gotta look out for each other" She replied. "Oh, and we need to cook the bread fruit before we eat it...not sure if we're allowed a fire or not." She mused for a moment as Tamara joined her on Ara's cot.
She started, and looked up when Artemis spoke. She was surprised to see the bowls, cups and utensils, especially at the fact that it seemed Artemis had been the one to bring it all in and set it up. She nodded as they were reminded that they had to pick someone to lead the group for the next day's exercise, and were assured that if the leader they chose didn't work out, it wasn't a permanent situation. She smiled as Artemis approached and handed her one of the coins. "Thank you Ma'am." She replied. As it was explained that the coin was half of her passage to Akuate, she took a quick look at the coin before putting it in a pocket. "Yes Ma'am. I will be there, ready to go." She replied as she was instructed to meet with Artemis at the officer's tent at sundown. She would need to get ready for that dinner soon, but for now, she was more concerned with Ara.
She listened as Ara ran down the list of compounding situations that put her into her current state, and thought about it all. "Um well, on the subject of hugs, there are a lot of people out there that are uncomfortable with physical contact with someone they've never met before. In such situations, it's generally considered polite to ask a person if they are comfortable with it before you hug them." She smiled, before she spoke again. "Though I'll welcome a hug from you anytime you feel the need."
"unfortunately I can't speak for Captain Cobalt as to why he got upset, could be he thought you were presumptuous." She shrugged. "I can't really tell you why you were sent with us instead of R&D, I can guess though. From what you've said, and what I've seen; you are quick to act on impulse. I think they're wanting to instil in you some mindfulness before they turn you loose with expensive, and time consuming prototype projects." She offered her thoughts without judgement of the vixen. Freya honestly liked Ara, and wanted to help her. "I know one thing for sure though." She continued. "You haven't been kicked out, and the only surefire way I know of to get kicked out is to give up. Keep trying, and I'm sure you'll make it." She paused and smiled again "want a hug?" She asked as she spread her arms in invitation.
"Thank you both for the vote of confidence." She said in reply to Charon, and Ara's comments on her taking the leadership role.
