And also how that intersects with how ships love their officers, and sometimes really really love their officers, and I don't think it's occurred to Breq yet that she's Mercy of Kalr's captain now (any more than it's occurred to her that Seivarden isn't her lieutenant - I mean, she is, but not in the sense that Seivarden is Mercy of Kalr's lieutenant.) Or that almost everything that she found loveable about Awn is also a trait that Mercy of Kalr could find loveable about Breq.
I think Breq still largely thinks they're two ships hanging out together. But from Mercy of Kalr's perspective, on the one hand, absolutely yes they are, but on the other hand they're really not, and it never actually knew Justice of Toren personally, and... some things you can't help.
