"We're friends too," Hawk corrects, "I just didn't earn my M.D. not to throw around my oaths and legal obligations for fun."

He hopes it's a touch of lightheartedness in turn. But Hawk nods, adding-

"Not that I don't care, just that I don't think you were in the wrong for doing it. If I ever actually got put on trial for the number of mutinous things I did, for the number of orders I disobeyed, you could play me like a harmonica with all the bullet holes. If people in charge always knew what they were doing, then none of us would be here."
