'Spit it out!'

19. I’m not wearing any underwear

The party had been moved upstairs to V’Atre’s large hot tub. He looked around at all his friends in the steaming, bubbling water. Thane and Syn, Belle and Kolyat, V’Atre and Sal, Shepard and Liara, Litu and Amal. Pinkie was already in the hot tub waiting for him and all he could do was stand their and blush. “I wouldst join if I could, but I’m afraid I’m not wearing any underwear.” His cheeks flushed even darker.

Clinical Study | Thane Krios

After months of rejected formal written and informal verbal requests, Cecilia Cosmas finally had what she wanted. Her data pad glared with the accepted form, her request to begin a clinical study recognized, cleared, and funded on the condition she 'stop bugging' the Chief of Medicine and put in eight hours of clinic work each day. 

Better yet, her first patient had arrived. He hadn't signed on to the project just yet, but Cecilia would be damned if she let him get away. Drell were rare enough on the Citadel as it was. Drell with Kepral's Syndrome, even more so. 

"Alright, Mr. Krios," she began immediately as she strolled into Room 2, eyes glued to her data pad for the moment. "I'm Dr. Cosmas, and I'll be running this study. I know you may have some concerns given my species, but I can assure you, you're in good hands. I'm not a hanar and I'm not a drell, but that's exactly what makes me your best hope." Glancing up at him, she gave a rare, warm smile. "The consensus among the hanar and drell alike is gene modification will breed a cure. That's the paradigm they're working in, and I reject it."

She took a seat near the examination table to be closer to him and at his eye-level. Getting a patient to trust you was always the first step in such matters. "Humans are genetically unique, more so than any other species. We're constantly creating new drugs even for illnesses we've already cured, and there's always a new disease brewing that we've got to funnel research into. Quite simply, my species is a mess. But we've gotten good at managing ourselves. I'm different from any doctor you've had before. I'll catch what the others thought was insignificant, and I'll figure this puzzle out. I don't just work when I'm here in the hospital. I go home and I research. I read. I am constantly working because I know that every disease is a race." 

Flipping through her omni-tool, she pulled up a forwarded message from another hospital. "This physician said you have about three weeks left, is that right?" Scoffing, she shook her head and gave him another smile. "Three months. Minimum. That's how long we have to race. Any questions?"

(Before I forget~) Thane approaches Vallery with a plate of bacon. "I heard that you like bacon?"

"Bacon!?"

She perked up, turning around to him with big eyes. The eyes a child would look at a new toy with. A moment later Thane is glomped to the floor, the plate of bacon vanishing from his hand with the speed of light. "I looove bacon~" She sounds almost like she sings. "Bacon bacon~"

“But I can’t live without you.”


"Then you shan't have to...because I have no intention of letting you go. You're mine, lover...all mine." Syn grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him in for a fiery kiss.

"I'll carry you, hold still or it'll hurt more."

Kolyat scoffed and pulled away from his father, grimacing in pain. "Why would I trust you to carry me, dad? You weren't there for me when I needed you - I hardly need you now."

Kolyat glared angrily at the piece of jagged metal sticking out of his left leg and then to his swollen right ankle. He wanted nothing more than to rip the metal out of his leg, but he feared he would bleed out if he did.

He'd finally caught up the man he'd been chasing, when another man jumped out with a rocket launcher. His biotics had saved him from a direct hit, but the rocket detonated against the wall behind him, sending shrapnel flying. The shockwave had taken him down hard. He was livid that the perp had gotten the better of him. Now it was personal. He would not let it happen again.

Kolyat growled over his predicament. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm a grown man, dad." He resented the fact that he might, indeed, need his father. "How did you even find me? And why did you even bother?"

✓ For Vallery~

The human looking arches an eyebrow, watching the Drell taking seat onto her lap. “You comfortable there, dear? First minute is free every following minute will be charged with cuddles" She asked a smile curling onto her face.

Touched by a star

It was the day after Thane has met the two Starborn. It was around noon and just like Vallery said the evening before she had sent Nesh to get Thane so they could try to aid with his Kepral's Syndrome. Meanwhile Vallery made some very last preparations and hoped that she could at least do a little bit for the Drell.

Nesh used her flaring to locate Thane on the already very busy citadel. She would suddenly just stand the mass of passing people, right in the drell's way with a smile on her face. Waving hello to him she closed the bit of space that was between them. "Ahoi Hoi. How are doing today?" She asked listening to his reply before saying. "Vall's all ready, wanna go?"

Thane notices this unfamiliar drell at the Citadel. He watched him from the distance for a bit before approaching. It wasn't often to run into other drell. "Excuse me?" he spoke up when he got close.

Hunter turned at the sound of the voice and noticed the smaller man. I'll be damned, another of his kind. "It appears that there are more of our kind than I expected to see on the Citadel. I am pleasantly surprised." He gave the other man a slight head bow. "A female, a male over in C-Sec and now you. I don't believe I've ever seen this many of our kind in one place outside of Kahje," he said with a chuckle.
