With the tacit approval to go ahead, Adia pulls out her PINpoint and starts typing away at the tiny keys. She tries to be quick about it, but she's never been one for texting shorthand or emojis. Besides, is there even an emoji for someone acting stressed and out of sorts?
Freddy's willingness to defend Caspar doesn't go unnoticed. She might even look a little appreciative about it. There is no love lost between Caspar and the rest of her ship. "I know," she admits quietly. "I just wish he hadn't been such a jerk about it..."
She finishes up her text and hits enter, then swings her gaze up to Freddy's face, wide-eyed and upset. She blinks, and the look softens in its intensity. "If you had asked me that even a week ago..." She sighs. "The Cylons are going through a civil war. The rebels defected to our side. But not Caspar. I think the odds of me seeing him again are pretty slim."
Oh, so he was undercover. That explains a lot, actually. "If you had told him sooner, wouldn't that have blown the case?" Of course, ideally, he shouldn't have become friends with the guy in the first place, but that's the last thing she'll ever judge someone for. "That must have put you in a really awkward position... I'm sorry."
She's kind of curious why a hero-obsessed cop would care about a hardened criminal, but there's no polite way to ask that. Instead, she shifts a little in her seat and says, "Some of my friends here are... um, morally questionable. But I've always tried to see the good in others. We can't always help who we like."
