Actually inwardly was pretty Ok with the turn of things. It meant more work, but at least it was something to whittle the hours away. Of course Lt. Jr. Noonia hadn't heard much of Lt. Paxton off the top of his head, but he supposed it'd be alright. The embarrassment of Ensign Skytower was obvious the way that it was pointed out so blatantly. Of course the self defensive mechanisms of digging herself into the PADD did little to distract the Commander from jabbing lightly.

Mordecai was a bit aghast, having spent a lot of energy not shining and being told TO shine! Training was always taken seriously however, and the thought of his life being lost due to a petty reason was squashed immediately. There was no way Mordecai was going to compromise his chances of success by breaking his own morale from the get go. A brisk handshake between the two of them passed, and a few more statements which didn't require further communication beyond a nodding of the head.

After the Commander had walked away, Lt. Jr. Noonia turned to Skytower and spoke. "Thank you Kindly Ensign. Eat up, don't worry about the misunderstanding." attempting to assuage the embarrassment. "After all, I doubt you could top my embarrassment when my buddy beat my simulator on his first try." Spoke fairly calmly with a short amicable laugh at the end. Attention turned to his friend Ensign Townsend.

"Thanks, I'm going to do my best to learn from this opportunity." deciding to give him a little rib back. "Cadet Slayer? I'm a Lt. Jr. Ensign." teasing him right back. Not making light of the woman, but rather keeping the image of the confident young Lt. Jr. Of course Mordecai inwardly had his own fears of inadequacy, but what mattered was his intent! And he intended to kick butt! "Let's finish our Chow, It might be some time til I have the chance to relax."
