Issues with someone she was navigating was… putting it mildly. Iris had to question how someone like Zero had managed to get so high-up the chain of command– only no, she really didn’t, because people like him would always thrive in military settings. In the back of her mind she could feel Colonel’s reluctant approval of his actions whenever he disregarded her advice and went off his own instinct.
It’s what a good warrior does.
Shut up before I find a way to SHUT you up!
“Yes– though honestly I shouldn’t even be trying. If he doesn’t want any help or advice then-” Iris grit her teeth together as she forced herself to hold her tongue. It took her a moment to smile, and as she did she shifted to the side. “It’ll be fine, I’m sure. One of us will learn eventually.”
Rebecca gave Iris a look of sympathy, shifting the datapads in her arms before looking thoughtful.
“Do you want to talk about it after I get these in there? I’d be more than willing to listen if you need it.”
God knows that was certainly the case when she volunteered for navigator work whenever Alia needed a break. Navigating was frustrating sometimes, and navigating certain people was an exercise in not throttling someone.
