While I'm posting excerpts and making notes:

"When I'm not aboard, you are acting captain of this ship. If you had failed to rescue me, and anything had happened to you, Lieutenant Ekalu would have been left in command. She's a good lieutenant, and she may well make a fine captain someday, but you are the more experienced officer, and you should not have risked yourself."
It was not what she had expected to hear. Her face heated with anger and indignation. But she had been a soldier a long time -- she did not protest. "Sir."

Breq's POV is so compelling that it took me however many reads of that chapter I'm up to by now to notice her UNBELIEVABLE BREATHTAKING HYPOCRISY in that paragraph. No wonder Seivarden's indignant. :D
