"Let the moon's shining light hide two lovers with its rays"
"Gar..."
"Thought I know that dawn will set us on course for separate ways"
"Gar."
"I will hold this night in memory for all my living days"
"Gar!"
"Now unmasked I feel your skin on mine"
"GAR!"
The green Turian stopped his singing for moment and turned to the Quarian.
"Yes, Rae?"
"Just because we started dating, and are a Turian and a Quarian couple, doesn't mean I want to listen to the songs from that movie all the time."
"Aw, but I thought you loved that movie." he complained
"I do, but it's something I'd rather not advertise." she muttered.
Gar regarded Raven for a moment. Being a Quarian and having to suppress her own emotions led to Raven having a serious disadvantage, perhaps more so than anybody else when it came to expressing herself. She often had to flatly tell people what she was feeling since she couldn't express herself with facial queues or the tone of her voice. It could be very frustrating at times. Very limited physical contact, and having to go through so many hoops just for some level of emotional intimacy could be tiring. But she was worth it just for when everything finally worked with her. Plus her wit and dry humor was great. She'd never agree with him, but he thought she was one of the funniest people in the galaxy.
"Oh, and what should I quote to you then?" he asked
"Hanar poetry?"
"Oh, in that case, I know just the thing." Gar cleared his throat. "This one believes that you are like a flower" he recited what he believed actual Hanar poetry was like.
"Hmm, close enough."
"Would that be enough to let me see your face again?"
It was always a risk. Not just for the possible infection that would result from removing any piece of her suit, but the very act of doing such a thing for a partner was a very emotional experience. It was going to be a long road before she felt comfortable even just kissing him.
Behind her mask, she repressed a smirk. "Maybe tonight if you're good."
