It was odd to be stuck on a (new to him) space colony, in a more furnished location for a time that would probably be longer than the average away mission. Pike would admit that being stuck on a space colony for an undetermined length of time was more than likely going to drive him insane, especially if they kept him off of Discovery until they were done with their investigations. Suffice to say, it was all concerns for future Pike, the one that wasn't at present in a vehicle with a younger man who looked at him as if he was a gift from god.

Entering the apartment had Pike finishing unzipping his uniform jacket and taking the offered tablet, with an eyebrow raise. If he wasn't him, who had sense when it came to clothing, he probably would utterly ruin the poor man's bank account. "You are oddly trusting of a man you just met."

But then he followed it with a smile and a shrug as he scrolled through the tablet, picking out comfortable clothes for himself. "Scotch is fine, though I can hear my CMO on the Enterprise now judging me for my lack of ambition when it comes to drinks." Boyce would be teasing him about now for not having a martini or some other concoction of his own design with whatever was present. If the smile on his face turned a little melancholy it was for good reason.
