To Love A Quarian
Chapter 1
Hey guys! Here's another idea that's been on the surface for quite some time! A pairing of the Quarian Lia'Vael, and the Commander!
A man with dark, laid down, hair, a trimmed beard, and green eyes, Leon walked down the steps to level 26 of the Zakera Ward. He heard commotion behind a column ahead of him. Curiosity taking him over, the Commander walked over.
He saw a Quarian in a white enviro-suit, a Volus, and a C-Sec officer.
"I'm telling you! She did it! Arrest her!" Exclaimed the Volus.
"What...? Just because I'm a Quarian?" The Quarian said to him.
"What's going on here?" Leon asked.
"I've got this under control, I do not..." The officer tried to say, but was interrupted by;
"Bah!" Said the Volus.
"All we can to resolve this conflict," The officer told him.
"I'll look into it," Leon said to him.
Leon looked at the Volus, "You said you lost your credit chit?"
"No, I didn't lose it! She stole it!" Volus answered, pointing to the Quarian.
Leon looked at him, and shook his head. He looked at the Quarian.
"He's accused you of pick pocketing him?"
"Apparently, he did, I accidentally bumped into him, then the next thing I know, he runs up to C-Sec, accusing me of stealing his damn chit!" The Quarian explained.
Leon nodded, "Ok," then looked at the officer, "Any idea where he might have used the chit?"
"It says that he's last been at Saronis Applications, and I've scanned the Quarian, she doesn't have a chit on her, but she may have stashed it somewhere to retrieve it later."
Leon snarled at the Officer, he'll deal with this in a minute.
"I'll be back," Leon said before walking past.
"Move along," the officer told him.
Leon made his way to the Saronis Applications store, and saw a Salarian employee.
"Hi! Welcome to...wait, Shepard?" The Salarian greeted.
"Do I...know you?" Leon asked in a questioning tone.
"No...but I know you! I thought you were dead!"
"Yeah," Leon replied, rubbing the back of his neck, "I've been getting that a lot."
"So, what brings you here?"
"I'm wondering if a Volus came by here, and left his chit," Leon explained.
"Ah! Yes! A Volus came in here not too long ago to buy some system environmental drivers. If you see him, tell him I have his chit here behind the bar."
Leon nodded, "Alright, Thank you."
"Come again!" The employee said to him before the Commander walked out.
Leon went back over to the trio.
"You left your chit at Saronis Applications, the Clerk is holding it for you," he said to the Volus.
"Oh...Well...she could have stolen it."
"I'm shutting this case down," the Officer said, tapping at his data-pad, then spoke to the Quarian, "Get a permanent residence or I'll run you in for vagrancy."
She looked down at the floor.
Leon was already boiling with rage on how they treated her at the start, his biotics were about to fire up.
"Are you two serious!?" Leon said, stepping up.
"Wha...?" The Volus tried to say,
Leon kneeled down to the Volus, "I tell you where your chit is, and all you had to say was 'She could have stolen it'?"
The Commander stood up and grabbed the Officer by the collar and pull him close.
"And you, she gets harassed by this guy, and you threaten to run her in for vagrancy?" He said to the man.
"How about I run you in for the obstruction of Justice?!" The Officer said as Leon pushed him off, walking back to his spot.
"You think you're going to run in a former Spectre?" Leon told him.
Both men scattered off, "Shit...", "Bah...!"
"Wow...I...don't know how I can repay you," she told him.
"You don't need to. Those guys were asses. So, are you here on your pilgrimage?" Leon asked.
He saw her glowing eyes go wide, "You know about the pilgrimage?"
He nodded, "I traveled with a Quarian who was on hers."
She nodded, "Wow, I...didn't know that."
"Yeah... So, if you don't have a place, Where do you stay?"
"I live at the Turian shelter, having to survive off Turian nutrition paste, but I'm surviving."
He nodded once more, "What's your name?"
"Lia'Veal Nar Ulnay," she told him, "Lia for short."
"Ok, Lia," he said with a smile.
Nobody knows it, but he has a thing for female Quarians, he has no idea why, but he does.
"Thank you for standing up for me back there," Lia told him, causing him to lose his train of thought.
"Aw, it was nothing. I know Quarians are not the people folks say they are. Like those two."
She nodded, and her heightened tone suggested she was smiling, "I'm glad you're not one of them."
"And I won't be."
"What's your name?"
"Leon Shepard," he said with a smile.
"Leon...huh?" she said, bringing her hands together, letting them hang as she tilted her head.
He nodded, still smiling,
"Ok, I've got to get going. I'll come visit you soon. I'm sure you could use some," he said to her.
She nodded again, "I'd like that."
"I will too," he said to her, about to go on.
"Good-Bye, see you soon," she bid him farewell.
"Bye," he replied to her before he was on his way to the stairs.
She smiled to herself, she couldn't believe it, but she...liked him. She certainly looks forward to their next meeting.
And there you have it!
I couldn't come up with a better title, so I hope the one I have suffices!
