She looks uncomfortable for a brief moment, then turns on Starbuck Yes, exactly this. There was always that moment before Starbuck slipped into place. Not everyone could see it, but clearly you did.
This is so lovely. Pilots always communicate like this, right?, always trying not to reveal too much :) Love the last line, very sweet and something Lee'd say, imo. He cares so much about Kara.
