“You can lie to yourself ‘bout it and say it’s nothin’,” she said with a slight shrug, glancing him up and down. “That doesn’t make it true, though. I wish it did.”

His chest puffed up a bit, eyes narrowing.  ”Ain’t lyin’.  It ain’t none of your business anyway… Just leave it be or what the fuck ever.”  He glanced over to the shirt lying a few feet away, grabbing for it to cover himself up.  It was only a mild relief when he felt fabric against his back again.

“You’d be really shitty at poker, y’know.”

She leaned back against a nearby wall as he put his shirt back on. Slowly, her heart was breaking into more and more pieces. Whatever happened to him, it must have been awful for him to act like this and bury it so deeply. Once his shirt was on, she reached forward and gently placed her hand on his shoulder for a brief moment.

“It’s not my business, you’re right,” she spoke quietly. “But I know it definitely wasn’t ‘nothing’ if those marks have you so defensive, and I care about you. You’re my friend, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry about you sometimes.”

Frowning, Jesi stepped back and folded her arms across her chest. “Sweetie, you must think I’m pretty fuckin’ stupid if you expect me to believe that.” Then, she tilted her head, trying to ignore the fact that her heart was breaking for him. “Your secrets are safe here, y’know. I promise. Might even find out you’re not alone.”

Tavi let out a small, irritable breath of air.  ”Secrets are safer if you never say ‘em… they’re just a few fuckin’ marks or whatever.”  He shrugged, purposely putting up a veneer of calm.  ”There ain’t nothin’ to talk about here, trust me…”

“You can lie to yourself ‘bout it and say it’s nothin’,” she said with a slight shrug, glancing him up and down. “That doesn’t make it true, though. I wish it did.”

She backed off at the yelp and looked up at him with sad eyes. “What happened? ‘Cause… I mean… those look like my own scars…”

“Nothing happened.”  Tavi tried not to wince at the blatant lie.  ”Nothin’ important anyway.”  He pulled a little further out of the hug.  ”Just… just leave it.”

Frowning, Jesi stepped back and folded her arms across her chest. “Sweetie, you must think I’m pretty fuckin’ stupid if you expect me to believe that.” Then, she tilted her head, trying to ignore the fact that her heart was breaking for him. “Your secrets are safe here, y’know.

Let’s be honest here. It didn’t really start good either with the let’s avoid mother’s day.

… I’m sorry. I had no idea you lost your husband. I know it’s not easy.

Hey, I don’t broadcast it, not a lot of people know ‘bout it. Not your fault. <333 Let’s talk about something more pleasant and less sad.

Steal any good shit lately?

I. Yes, I suppose that’s true. -smiles before she begins to laugh, stuffing down some relief in her voice-

Hmm. I did run into an old “friend” the other day while on the job. He used to be a pretty big name on Illium some years ago. Didn’t help me from getting to my latest painting first. Nice abstract work too, salarian. Always real colorful.

So I take it art’s your favorite thing to steal, hm? I always liked the jewelry, myself. Something about pocketting someone’s shiny rings and necklaces was always fun…

Kudos to you guys that are actually trying to do shit to end it, man. I couldn’t be out there with Shepard, I’d go crazy!

Uh. I’ll pass the message along, definitely. I’m not on the front-lines either, you know.

… I’ve seen enough.

This conversation’s not going anywhere good, is it?

*snorts* Fuck no! It’s just… *swallows hard* my h-husband… he died, recently. *looks away to hide a few small tears* So they’re scared right now. 

… Oh. -stands there mutely for a moment- … I’m really sorry for your loss. Love can be very rough. Uh. Is there anything I can… help with as far as that goes?

Nah, I’m good. But thank you for asking. *gives her a sad smile* This war fuckin’ sucks fuckin’ huge dicks, man.

… Yeah, yeah it does. … This’ll be a grieving generation after this, I think. And we’re bound to lose more before the war is over.

Can’t. Got kids. Though, Aitia /does/ know how to shoot…

Ugh, boring. Can’t just hire a babysitter?

Not with everything that’s gone on recently, no. I think they’d freak out if I was gone for too long.

-raises any eyebrow curiously- No one’s been trying to mess with you, have they?
