Fun fact: There's so many fricking crows where I live, if I started feeding them cheap unsalted peanuts, I'd have a massive crow army at my disposal within two weeks tops.

Her tone of voice reads "unamused" to me, not "gently teasing." which, also, is why Picard is awkwardly defensive about it instead of dismissing a gentle ribbing?

    I think it's precisely because Picard is uncomfortable with that sort of thing, and probably has a reputation for it. I hear that hint of "unamused" too, but I think it's at Picard's immaturity with respect to the situation rather than "Why would a starship captain allow this to happen".

    I'm not sure the ribbing is that gentle, though I don't read it as aggressive, either. More of a "Captain Picard Day? You're actually participating in this, Jean Luc?" I don't think they're that close, probably only by work meeting/reputation.

    I think either reading could be accurate, though. I don't think this Admiral appears in any other episodes so we don't have a broader picture of her.
