Depends on the captain almost sounds like a potentially loaded sort of bait, but not one that Ava is willing to latch onto for the sake of her own peacekeeping. Still it's strange to hear the title used with something other than false and disdain from Tayrey. Who clearly feels far more comfortable to be in a position where she is able to negotiate her terms, rather than sent away with childish mockery.
Entirely understandable.
Still, Ava misses the Captain. Worries. It's hard not to, when her memory of everything after the ship's seizure is a fragmented mess that she doesn't even know how to begin piecing back together. Ava lowers her head, quiet, still picking at her food but at least eating.
"What's your code... entail?" Ava asks, curious. She has some insight into Tayrey's boundaries that she won't negotiate upon. In the specific context of the ship. Not wanting to have her emotional trauma used as a power source probably isn't amongst what she'll face here. She knows the Lieutenant puts a lot of weight on upholding contractual agreements, but actually knows little about the sorts of terms she likes to set.
