This is why Kit worked alone, new galaxy, same rules. When you do the things they do, you don't get other people involved, even if said person was doing something similar. Kit could keep their could mostly calm though. "I'm going to put some medi-gel on the wound, then contact your crew, and you're going to focus on staying awake."

Venol blinked slowly, sitting up stiffly. Stars, he felt like he was frozen and then flash-defrosted. Why did he feel so heavy all of a sudden?

“You? Squishy? Yeah, and I’m suddenly a Krogan.” He froze, as his eyes settled on another Angara. He hadn’t been with another one of his people, last he recalled. He wasn’t very fond of hanging out with other Angara, unless they were his family.

His expression soured, face twisting into a disgusted grimace upon hearing the exclamation of the other.

“Please say psych.” He had to be joking, right? Had to be. No way he wasn’t. He wouldn’t ever let himself be exalted. Venol lifted a hand to his face, and recoiled sharply. And his face displayed a wide range of emotions. Disbelief, refusal, fury, disgust, discomfort. All in a matter of seconds. “Is this what it feels to be physically and emotionally crusty and crunchy. Cause I hate it.”

He rose from his sitting position, and stood on unsteady feet. And disdain finally settled as his primary expression.

“I’m going to throw the mother of all bitch fits. I am wholly prepared to lose my shit right now.” Dramatic as always, Venol.

Kgrln kept his eyes firmly fixed on Venol, watching him go through his range of different reactions to their predicament. Kgrln didn’t feel much, but he knew he was alarmed, even if his body didn’t much like to let him know. Looking at Venol’s reaction made it easier for him to feel what he was supposed to feel. It confirmed that this situation was truly as bad as he thought it was.

Only now did it really sink in. Only now did distress rather that surprise and confusion wash over him. No one would recognize him anymore. His people would attack him on sight. 

“I understand,” Kgrln uttered. 

His gaze dwindled to the ground and he stayed put, lying on the cold floor. Suddenly, he seemed genuinely frightened. A huge departure from the usually blank expression that only ever made way for one of intrigue. 

“I’m in shock.”

He didn’t know why he was so shaken. Was it the sudden difference in physiology? Angara did experience and express emotions differently... Though, perhaps this was truly as frightening as he felt it was. So, this is what it was like to have tears sting in their dructs as the body and mind fought against letting them come out.

Kgrln’s thoughts raced through various reasons and possible solutions. While he thought, his upper body rocked slightly back and forth, his hands tensing.

"Why don't you like doctors? Uh you don't have to answer that, if you don't want too." Kit said quickly after they realized that might be too personal. "Also I was of apologizing for hacking your omnitool, not that I found much on it." They scratched the back of their head... "Epiria was cool... I didn't talk to Kasey much..." Their lack of actual people skills was starting to show, more of in how they were talking then Kit's face, as they still had a grin on their face.

"Kit." Pyxis greeted, expression marginally unreadable. Even their subvocals were subdued in favor of giving the restaurant behind the human a curious glance. "It seems we both don't lack in taste. But business is business, and we should likely deal with it sooner rather than later." They cocked their head in the direction of the door. "Shall we?" {Pyxis - ssvdromio

Kit had their usual grin on their face, as they nodded, "Prxis

, it's nice to finally meet you in person." They turned and walked through the door, where they both guided to a private booth. They were quite the odd pair. Not for a second did Kit look even a bit conserned, if anything, they looked excited.

❝ victimhood is not your colour. ❞ He mentioned offhandedly to them, watching the chaotic scene unfold before them both. Good thing they got out of there before their little prank had escalated around them. {Venol to Kit - ssvdromio

@ssvdromio

Kit grinned even as they panted "did you not have fun though?" They weren't taking anything seriously right now, not with the absolute joy pumping through their system, at the chaos they had caused. "You said you wanted to do something exciting. Is this not what you wanted?"

[are-you-dreaming-of-stars]

"The fact that you are friends with Venol, has led me to this point in my life, where I am worrying over you. And you are virtually a complete stranger to me." Thiery's secondary hands come up to emphasize her point, her primary hands crossed over her chest. "Not to mention how little it seems that either of you take care of yourselves." {For Kit, from Thiery -- ssvdromio

"Listen, don't worry about me. Especially if you don't know me. I can take care of myself, I know what I'm doing." Kit crossed their own arms. As much as Kit stuck their nose into other people's business, they didn't appreciate someone sticking their nose in their's without permission.

Their eyes flickered over his shift. Their body drew taut at it. As if they were ready to bolt at any too aggressive seeming movement. He was clearly debilitated, but one couldn’t be too careful, they supposed. Everyone, even the injured and damaged, had their own talons and teeth to strike with.

They forced their form to relax, as they looked back down at the information scrolling across their screen.

“Depends on what you’re willing to pay.” The game of informant was one that was routine to them. As familiar as breathing, or feeling the thrum of their own subvocals through their throat and chest. It never came without its strings attached. “But I’ve seen such things amongst reports and the like.” This, they allowed themself to omit.

He had to know he was being baited at this point. But they were curious to see if he would take it.

Oh, so they were playing coy? No doubt to try and get him to throw money at them. Ah. Barting... A part of the of the job he didn’t at all care for, and not something Turians were famous for partaking in. All he knew was he wouldn’t be the first to name a price, and he would try to respect the wishes of his superiors to not hurt the informant unless necessary. 

“I would certainly hope so, considering your position,” he noted, his tone flat, lacking any semblance of interest. After all, they had told him nothing new. That being said, his sources indicated that this was one of his best options. 

“I’ve already seen examples of your work, and I’m certain you know what I need. Name your price.”

“Oh.” Olvek pressed his lips into a frown and gave an apologetic look from behind his datapad. “I did not mean to be the first one to mention this.” The problem was still there though. A little more carefully this time, Olvek noted, “I have heard... mentions. Not from Roekaar, but people around Aya. I thought it could have been a sentiment shared to them by the Roekaar. Still could be.”

That was followed by him turning his eyes to the ground and rubbing his cheek with one hand before turning his gaze to meet hers . “I will admit, your appearance on Aya did cause me a small bit discomfort more than that of the asari.” With a little hand gesture, he added, “But you look less like ascendants than the salarians. I’d imagine kett find them either unnerving or cute... If they can find anything cute.”
