Normally? She talks to him because they're on good terms. In this instance, it was because she felt the need to tell him how much he could trust her, and 'warn him' about me.
Normally I wouldn't be bothered, but right now... look, Rex needs me. Maybe he didn't always need me, but now he really, really needs someone who he trusts and... I don't think he does trust anyone else. I can't afford to let her jeopardize that.
She will. You know when we were first paired, Rex hated me. We argued all the time, he wished for the Admiral to drop Cobras into my room, I gave him SARS... I don't even know how or when we changed, but something about being stuck with each other got to us in the end.
Yeah, but it wasn't you two being paired that stopped her from getting along with you.

You read her file, you talk to her about her issues, you look out for her... and no matter what she's pissed at you over, it's going to mean something in the end.

So how's life as a paired man treating you?

And this place certainly isn't perfect. Being paired has...been about the same as not being paired so far.

It'll grow on you.

I don't like the animosity.

Eventually she will appreciate you looking out for her, even if she kicks and screams when you're getting started.

We'll see.
