"That seems one-sided. 'Sure, except when I don't?' How often do you expect those things to happen?" Alex had to fight to keep the growl from her voice this time. She pushed her plate away with undue force. "I'm not the one cleared for stealth, so I know I'd be a hindrance in those cases. But just...if you're supposed to meet with me and can't. Don't make me wait around without knowing. Please." She might not have acknowledged her tendency to temper-flare, but she did know her tendency to take matters into her own hands. Not a good policy, given that her hands weren't the only ones at stake in a partnership.
Her fingers itched when his coffee was topped off; she curled them into her palms. "I'm not stupid," she said dryly. No matter how it probably appears. "I won't flee at the mere sight of you," she allowed, "and unlike you, I'll send word when I pick something up, once we establish comms. Your access means you'll be able to get a round-about view of where I am by pulling up the tasking in the mainframe. If I'm not checked in on one, I'll be in my room, which is portside and down, 2111K. Nice and easy, no chasing required. How's that?"
What else concerned her? How about the way her brain flipped switches like a warp drive in desperate need of a tuneup with him around? Frustrated, she rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Don't be spying on me. Or sneaking up behind me. I have a wrench, it's heavy, and I do use it...and I don't like surprises." And that was as much by way of warnings as a girl could give for one day.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
