Nina doesn't tell him that they've already met and that the report Laertes came back with wasn't the best -- but he also said it was early in the morning, before sunrise, and Nina isn't her sharpest or her friendliest then either. "Laertes is great. We met under stressful situations and I had to scold him for his first aid skills... but everything turned around after that. That seems to be the case with a lot of people here... difficult first meetings."
