Calibration 16 [Audio | We Did That]

[officer_garrus]

You know, Shepard's the only human I've ever felt any kind of attraction to. I'm no xenophile, but with her, it's... different. She's not just a human, she's Shepard. And she's the only human I've ever been with.

I admit, I was nervous at first, partly because of the whole "different acids" thing, and because I didn't want to make myself look stupid in front of her. Sex between our kind isn't impossible, it just takes a lot of precautions. I was afraid of hurting her. But we love each other and were determined to make it work. I'm glad it did. If Mordin ever comes back, I should thank him again for the notes.

Let me guess, you're cursed.

Shepard also knows every inch of my body and where to touch it.

...I think you're right.

I admit, I have never witnessed a love that crossed species. But I am happy that you two found a way to make it work!

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

It happens quite often in my world. Granted, most of it involves asari, but you do get the occassional human and turian, or quarian and turian, or possibly any combination I haven't thought of.

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

My goodness! What sort of difficulties did you run into?

[No, he's not cursed. He's just a nosy old man.]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Well, the biggest concern is that turians and humans have different biological makeups. If we hadn't taken precautions, we could have given each other bad allergic reactions.

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

Allergic reactions? Now that's something I would not expect.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, our immune systems could see each other's tissue as a threat. My friend could explain it better, if he were still here.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Right.

So, how are you? Other than cursed?

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

No, you have explained it perfectly. Very interesting indeed!

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Her hands are so smooth...

Ahem, well, other than missing Mordin, I'm fine.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Interesting is one way of putting it. Still, our first time was one of the best nights of my life.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Wow, you've really got it bad.

Were you and Mordin good friends? I didn't know him very well, but he ws interesting to talk to.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

One time she did this thing with her foot... No, no, got to cut that out!

Yeah, we were friends and comrades in arms.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should have this conversation some other time.
