The use of a pet name after what is, by reckoning of when Ferrier last saw Crabb yesterday evening to the present moment, less than even 12 hours, certainly catches her interest. She knows all too well how Crabb's last relationship ended, she's witnessed the damage up close for the last several months as Crabb has refused to even once slow down long enough to process it. Whatever this is it's clearly different than Cragen, he used societal expectations and rules to his advantage rather than breaking them outright, but... she must exercise fair caution.
"Mm, we have worked together in some fashion for a few years, now. A case I was hired for here in the city took rather an unexpected turn and she found following it to be a more valuable use of her time and skills than following the constabulary's rules."
