A/N: Short one, but what can I say? It's Wrex!
Wrex
Virmire. What a kick in the quad that was. Now the whole ship is in mourning. It's quiet, like a goddamned tomb. It's driving me nuts.
Most of them are torn up about Alenko, but me, I'm pissed off. At Shepard for convincing me to destroy the salvation of my people. At Saren for twisting that salvation into something that had to be destroyed. At the world for taking another good fighter. I want to hit something.
I'm about to slam my fist into the nearest locker when the elevator door hisses and Shepard steps out, looking like she'd been chewed up and spat out by a varren. I'm not surprised to see her down here. She's always down here, sometimes chatting about female crap with Williams, but usually she's parked on top of the Mako, discussing who the hell knows what with that blasted turian.
Humans. Never understood their ridiculous emotional response to death, especially a combat death. Well, most humans. Shepard was different. Most humans, in her place, would probably run straight to Williams and hug or sob or do some other touchy-feely crap that would make my palms itch. Not her.
Shepard walks straight to Vakarian, who's got his head under that piece of crap vehicle, kicks his foot, and says in a voice loud enough for the whole ship to hear, "come on, Garrus. I need to beat something up, and it might as well be you."
Now, I may be a krogan, but I ain't dumb. I know turians, and I know this turian, probably better than he knows himself. Well, at least where Shepard is concerned. And I know that this little "fight" she's picking is a bad idea. Bad for the crew, bad for her command, and bad for for my peace of mind. I don't care if they fall together later, but right now we have a job to do and it's too damned important for her to screw it up because she doesn't understand how turians work, or that this particular turian is stupid for her.
I head over to the Mako before things get out of hand.
"Shepard, leave Vakarian alone, it's too easy. You need to spar with someone who'll fight back. Come on."
