on happenings past, current and future, and getting around.

[interitum]

Well, you're certainly bound and determined to test the limits of what one can bear, aren't you .. ?

[A wry sort of half-smile, lips softened at the edges.]

Even the strongest of pillars will crack, eventually, and I've accepted that -- just as I have a great number of inevitable outcomes, both within this prison and the empty reaches of space. But it will be a while yet before my Fate is sealed. My ability to draw breath should have been indicative of that from the very start.

You make light of my future, and yet I've reconciled with these things long ago.

Regardless, I would appreciate at least a little reprieve from all this ... Chaos. There is only so much responsibility a man can take upon himself in a lifetime, and I believe this one has incurred enough faults to account for several of them.

[Not to mention some ridiculous idiosyncrasies, thanks in no small part to certain living arrangements. . . But what is it the younger generation says these days? Oh, right. YOLO]

Yeah, like we're about to get any sort of reprieve. You should wish for drell women next, see how well that works. While you're at it, a turian woman would be nice. Maybe one that's deaf so I dodge the whole trying-to-talk thing.

[interitum]

I thought we had taken care of that particular issue.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Didn't quite catch that. You wanted the toad in your room, then? And I can give away the tea?

[interitum]

And find yourself lacking for company? I think your codependency might prevent that.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Codependency? Who was the one who decided he wanted someone to move in to the other room in the first place? I'll give you a hint. They're green. Not grey.

[interitum]

Well, if at any point you should decide that your first-story unit is preferable ..

[forgivetheinsubordination]

The place with no vantage point, too many angles of approach, with civilians everywhere? No.

But I'm saying I wasn't the one who ...encouraged... someone to share a place.

[interitum]

Perhaps not, but you certainly didn't question it. Shall I double-check to ensure my memory hasn't faltered?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Very funny, Krios.

Maybe you should check to make sure the fridge is running.

[interitum]

If you wanted to hear about my experiences, you could have simply asked.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I've got a decent guess as to your level of 'experience' by now. There's getting around, and then there's getting around.

[interitum]

And now you've had the privilege of sharing in my travels.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Another reason why I didn't even have to ask.

Still think we could use something else in the living room. Just haven't figured out what, yet.

[interitum]

Another gun in the umbrella stand, perhaps?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I don't get what you and Tali find so funny about it. Close to hand, no one's going to look there if they're coming in, easy to grab.

[interitum]

What if it rains?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Don't grab the gun. Shooting clouds won't do anything. Thought you knew that.

[interitum]

[Way to miss the joke, Garrus. It doesn't fucking rain here. This place is like, a piece of Rakhana or something. Except with sex everywhere instead of drell ripping each other apart.]

Perhaps we could find a way to rig the television. I have no interest in the vids they put on display here.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[Missed the joke nothing. Took the opportunity to mock Thane everything.]

I like the idea. Gotta run it past the others. No idea what Mordin's going to decide he needs to research next.
