Maybe you didn't get the memo last time, Keep.

Turians don't like the cold. So this... surprise? Not really appreciated.

[Someone got snowed on while he was out scouting around. And he sounds really happy about it all.]

How long until this clears up, do we think?

Well, it is winter. Winter means snow. So, a few months, probably.

[Audio]

And I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that.

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

You can find more clothing in the clothier's tower, you know. It's just southeast of the thermal pools. Or do you need external heat?

[Because hey, the thermal pools are still warm!]

I'm not really sure anything made for a human could fit me.

But... I could try it. I guess.

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

Might not be a perfect fit, but there should be something in there you could wear. You're not too far off from human-shaped.

Guess you've never seen me without my armor off, then.

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

...

[HOLD UP. THAT WAS NOT WHAT HE... WOW THAT CAME OUT WRONG.]

I mean. For medical reasons.

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

[And Sycora just laughs.]

Of course. And with any luck, I won't need to.

[Not that she would mind. A patient is a patient, whether they're a grizzled dinosaur alien or a squishy human toddler.]

But, I'm afraid I'm a little curious. Armor on, you just look a little... slender. [With killer hips, no lie.] What's the big difference?

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

Yeah. With any luck.

[There's a pause, while he picks at his scars. Honestly, he's filled out a lot since he first took off after Shepard... but he's no krogan.]

Legs. Hips. Shoulders... You know. Scales and everything aside.

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

Certainly.

You've got the two arms and two legs working in your favor, though. I'm sure we've got some tailors in the Keep if you're willing to pay for their services. Size up, tuck in, you know the drill.

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

Pay? With what? I don't have any credits on me.

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

Then pay with favors, or services, or trinkets. We've got something of a barter system going.

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

Really?

Since when?

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

Since goods and services became more useful than cold, hard cash. Can't do much with money if everyone has a different idea of what money is.

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

This mean I need to start paying you?

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

Mm, no. But it does mean that if I need something, you're high on the list to ask.

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

Guess I should be flattered.

[Audio]

[sanomorior]

Don't be. Can't have you starving, can we?

[But she's teasing.]

[Audio]

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

I'd really rather not keel over again, yeah.

[sanomorior]

Again? Didn't think you'd kicked the proverbial bucket yet.

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

...

Uh. Yeah.

Surprise?

[sanomorior]

[A faint laugh.]

Not too much of one. Try not to let it happen again. We don't need any Turian-shaped icicles.

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

I don't really plan on letting it happen again.

[sanomorior]

Good.
