   ”Perhaps you should stop thinking about women being inferior to you.”

"Inferior? Are you high, lady? I’m used to being taller than people. It feels weird. If I thought females were inferior, I’d fucking say so."

   [ Her eyes narrow and her mandibles flare angrily. ]  "You complaining about being shorter than most women makes me think you think they're inferior to you in some way.  But what do I know?  I'm just a lowly C-Sec officer."

   [ She shrugs slowly. ]  ”I suppose that’s okay…?”

"It’s weird. I prefer being taller than women. I think I should just get used to be being tiny for the rest of my life…"

   "Perhaps you should stop thinking about women being inferior to you."

"It’s so unfair, god damn. I can hoist a Krogan Warlord over my head without any trouble and yet I can’t be any taller than the female of 3 species."

   [ She shrugs slowly. ]  "I suppose that's okay...?"

   [ A few moments pass. ]  You okay?

Yeah.. .just.. .talking about it makes me tired.

   [ She nods. ]  I understand.

   [ She nods and sits back. ]  Miraculously, mine’s still warm.  [ She takes a sip and purrs quietly. ]

*makes a soft sound of acknowledgement, curling up slightly on the couch*

   [ A few moments pass. ]  You okay?

   [ She smiles and nudges him back. ]  Is the tea okay?  If it’s cold, I can heat it up again, heh.

Cold’s fine. I’m fine just sittin’ with it.

   [ She nods and sits back. ]  Miraculously, mine's still warm.  [ She takes a sip and purrs quietly. ]

   [ She sits back. ]  It’s okay.  I’m not gonna force you to talk about it or anything.

*after a moment, gives her an affectionate nudge*

   [ She smiles and nudges him back. ]  Is the tea okay?  If it's cold, I can heat it up again, heh.

   [ Her smile widens. ]  Thanks.  That…that means a lot.

I dunno if I can talk more but… *quietly sips his tea and seems content to just sit there.*

   [ She sits back. ]  It's okay.  I'm not gonna force you to talk about it or anything.

   [ She smiles, her mandibles flaring happily. ]  Thank you, Tavi.  I have another reason to want to change the system now.

…I really hope you figure out a way. I think you can.

   [ Her smile widens. ]  Thanks.  That...that means a lot.

You’re C-Sec but… you’re a friend.  You’re better than they were.

   [ She smiles, her mandibles flaring happily. ]  Thank you, Tavi.  I have another reason to want to change the system now.
