O n e - H e r
Liam Kosta came to the Andromeda Galaxy, not because his life back in the Milky Way was shitty. He loved his life - he had friends, a family, a good job, nothing was wrong. He wanted to start big. So he joined the Initiative and was hand picked by Alec Ryder himself to be on the Pathfinder team. Here he was, an ex cop, poor student, crisis responder and an ex N7 chooses him for his own team. Liam felt honored.
He didn't see this whole thing happening. Habitat 7 becoming a bust and their Pathfinder dying. Liam had no idea this would happen. But he couldn't help but feel bad for the Pathfinders very own daughter whom he had only just met. She seemed like such the nice person, reminded him of himself in a few ways. She looked young and here she was now,the new Pathfinder searching for a home for everyone. Being put right into her father's shoes.
Liam's light brown eyes looked on at the Ryder as she laid back in a stretcher bed from the med bay here on the Hyperion in SAM node unconscious, not moving the slightest but breathing and alive. His brows furrowed as he was slightly worried of her reaction to learning of her father's fate and what he had passed on to her. He could imagine the wave of sadness and shock that awaited her. The man felt sorry for the woman. Having the time to really look at her made the feeling worsen. Made him almost want to cry for her.
Cressida was her first name. She had dark violet dyed hair, her black roots only a bit noticeable to the eye. Her skin was a pale ivory, freckles sprinkled across her button nose, her face perfectly shaped, eyes doey and a hazel like brown. Eyebrows thin and dark, slightly arched. Her lips were thin yet plump, she was short but it didn't make her any less intimidating. Her body was thin yet finely built. When Liam first laid eyes on her from across the med bay, he thought he was staring at a goddess. He had never seen a woman like her and wished he had met her sooner.
Her grinned slightly when he remembered her response to his little wave and mouthed hello. The little smile she gave him and the small quick wave with her free hand. He couldn't help but give her a smoldering smirk after. Liam knew however, pursuing any sort of relationship would complicate everything. Especially now.
But it's not gonna stop him from finding her beautiful and staring a few times while she wasn't looking. Like right now.
Liam agreed to watch over Ryder in case she woke up, and to also keep an eye on her if anything were to happen in her sleep. He didn't realize how much looking at her would let him know about her as a normal person. Looks aside - he could tell right off the bat she had a strong, brave, and fearless covering but on the inside she was a true softie with a kind heart. It made him want to learn more about her. To actually pry. He let out a little sigh and shook his head, eyes leaving her and looking to a nearby wall, dazing out into thought until suddenly he heard shifting from where the woman laid and her voice talking to...something.
Liam's attention made its way back to Cressida who was awake and sitting up in her bed, looking confused and worried.
" Hey...your still with us…"
