A fun fact as to why Andre was so offended by having to share a berth with Lieutenant Bush. He honest to god had no idea that was normal – in fact, he wholeheartedly believed that he was being punished by Horatio for being rude when he first met him, and he considered the action both inappropriate ( as regard to his station and that he outranks Horatio considerably ) and extreme in reaction.

However, as soon as he came to realize that this was simply how ships were built, he immediately regretted his resentment and made efforts, where manageable and appropriate, to show his contrition.

“I can help the status of my birth no more than you can,” Andre pointed out mildly, despite being somewhat affronted by the man’s thoughts, “I did not realize at the time such quarters were the best to be had – how could I? It was my second time on a ship in the whole of my life, and the first in which I had ever been in such tight space. What reason had I to know such was normal to others until I was granted cause to learn it?”
