Trudy is pretty much Kang's best friend on the ship. He trusts her completely, and wouldn't hesitate to help her if she needed it. She's a blast to drink with, and joke around with, and even though he thinks the whole thing with Luis is absolutely hilarious and loves to tease her about it, if she told him to stop, he would. He knows she'd do the same for him.

...she actually reminds him of a friend from home, in a way, with her personality and attitude.
