The final pairing is the most unlikely: Lennier and Mr. Morden.
Despite being the most unpredictable pairing, I also found it a
perversely satisfying one. Lennier has come to the station seeking
wisdom. He likely expects an apparition (Marcus?); it is fair to note
that he, alone of all the regulars, takes the Brakiri superstition
seriously. However, the appearance of Morden is the last thing Lennier
is expecting, and the last thing he wants. Morden actually speaks a
fair bit of good sense to Lennier, right from the beginning:

I think Lennier got exactly who he was looking for. He had his fighting
pike next to him as he was meditating (summoning?).

I don't know why Lennier would seek Mr Morden out, you understand. Perhaps
as someone with no reason to sugarcoat and no reason left for molevolence.

I liked Morden's attitude. <sigh> OK, you want it kid, here:. It was an
almost singsong recitation as if reviewing the very very obvious with an
exasperating slow learner.
