#cassianvitus

Cass not only stood there blubbering for a good five seconds, a continuous stammering like sound coming from his mouth, but he also had to adjust himself none to subtly. Not only did he grab a chair... he also opened his omnitool, set to record with a concentrated expression on his face.

Cass stepped in through the door immediately greeted by the sounds of heavy grunting and creaking wood. Well he was a big fella... Cass couldn't quite bring himself to look away from the sight of the oversized krogan plowing the small and twiggy Tavi. Cass standing there gaping, mouth open, eyes wide and mandibles hanging lax... he simply cleared his throat, closed the door, shut his mouth and walked into the room to grab a chair.

((too late!))

Cass opened the door and immediately covered his eyes, turning to the side and tilting his head away, "Shit! Sorry I didn't mean t-..." Wait a second... he slowly opened his fingers and peeked through, seeing Duan scramble off Tavi and in that instant Cass couldn't help the loud snort that burst from his mouth, nor the loud laugh that filled the room. The more he saw Duan scramble, the harder Cass laughed, until he fell on his ass, lay to his back and clutched his sides, tears streaming from his eyes as he laughed, harder still at the obviously disgruntled expression on Duans face.

Tavi paused.  And immediately backed out again.  He didn't know if he had drunk too much but whatever he was seeing clearly wasn't actually happening.

"You know I've been asked that before, the only time I've ever passed out with a boner is cause I was so shit faced that I'm surprised I even got it up."

Cass was quiet for a good long moment, the longer the silence spanned the harder his face grew, the more troubled his eyes became. "...No. But I'd eat a bullet afterwards anyways."

Cass without so much as a moments thought easily and confidently said, "Family." Then with a chuckle and a shrug went on, "It's not a battle of morals. One life is not more important than another. My wife could go on to do great or terrible things in the next five minutes without even realizing it, same as any other person. It comes down to whether or not I could live with my choice and if I saved someone I'd never see again versus my grand daughter? Easy choice. Easiest even."
