Sid finished laughing at Suvi's latest baby vid, she glanced at her omni-tool and noticed the time. It was her day off and it was nearly noon, Vetra had left with Scott about an hour ago, Scott had said something about stopping Vetra from worrying over the ship. Sid tried to remember what she had read about humans and their mating customs, not that a lot of it made sense.
"You want a drink? I think humans can have water, right? I don't think there is any difference between the dextro ration water and the lavo water ration?" Sid winced at how unsure and stupid she sounded, Suvi smiled brightly and kissed her cheek.
"I would love some, and yes both acid groups can share water… well not share, you know the whole reaction thing, but they can both have water as long as they don't 'share it'." Suvi rambled, Sid smiled in turian fashion and slide off her cot taking care not to disturb Suvi to much who had been between her legs.
"Alright I will go get us some!" Sid all but ran from the room, cursing how uncool she sounded, this was going nothing like how Scott and Vetra seemed to be going.
Entering the kitchen, she found a pair of water bottles in the cooling unit, turning to go back to her room she saw a datapad with a note on it. The Pad was from Scott with a few words of encouragement and some suggestions that Suvi might like based on his talks with her, and under the pad were some things that had Sid flushing. Disposable claw covers to avoid cutting sensitive human flesh, dental dams, and gloves for humans also Disposable and that made her notice a pill bottle with reaction control for a label. A second message she had missed caught her eye and made her flush.
*I bribed Lexi with something like four free tests with no complaining, so be thankful. I got these from her, the fact that she had them raises some questions that I am not sure I want answers to. Also, Suvi has a very low reaction to Dextro, but she does have one so make sure you both take a pill before doing more than a bit of kissing. (That means a pill before sex or making out! Do not kill my science officer because your horny!) Now Vetra and I will be spending the night on the Tempest so feel free to use your room for sex, Suvi shares the bunk room with most of the crew so be warned, have fun. *
Sid took a few deep breathes as she hid the 'presents' but slipping the bottle of pills into a smuggler pocket in cowl ridge, a thing Vetra insisted on putting in all her clothes. Grabbing the water, she went back to the room, made some lame jokes about why she took so long and handed the water off. After a bit more talking they decided to go find some lunch.

"Wait you left my kid sister what!" Vetra asked laughing while trying to glare at Scott, who only smirked back.
"What you want to get the panicked call from Sid that something went wrong during sex and Suvi is now on the floor choking? I know that you tested her and like you has no reaction but Suvi does, I was just being a good brother in law." Scott defended, Vetra raised an brow plate.
"'Brother in law' huh?" Vetra asked, Scott leaned in and touched foreheads. "Yep, if you want we can go do the paper work right now. I asked Kesh earlier while you were fussing over the crates, she has the authority to make it official. Besides they say honeymoon sex is the best kind." Scott whispered, Vetra blinked and tried to think of a response only to be save by Suvi.
"Scott, Vetra! Funny running into you two, what are you talking about?" Suvi asked as she and Sid came up, Sid glanced and Scott and flushed a bit.
"N-Nothing, Scott was talking about some forms that he had asked Kesh to find for him." Vetra responded, kicking Scott in the shin as a warning.
"Yeah, I had been considering getting a larger cot for Vetra, I keep falling off in the middle of the night." Scott lied smoothly, Sid laughed.
"Yeah, she rolls around a lot in her sleep, used to roll on top of me when we shared a bed." Scott laughed at that, while Vetra glared at her kid sister who only winked.
"Sooo, Suvi did Sid take you to see bio lab and show you the strange little critters?" Scott asked, winking at Sid unseen by Suvi, Sid kicked the same shin as Vetra making Scott wince.
"She did, Sidera was a great guide. I must thank you for the suggestions you left." Suvi gushed, Scott smiled and signaled Vetra.
"Well I promised Vetra we would try out the shooting range that Kandros opened for the apex teams." With that Vetra was dragged off by Scott, leaving behind enough credits to pay for a good lunch for Sid and Suvi.

Scott was walking with Vetra when he spotted a woman from his past that made him glare, when the ghost from his past started approaching he asked Vetra to head to the range ahead of him. She looked concerned, but he simply lied and said that he needed to check something for Drack, she looked doubtful but went anyway. The moment she rounded a corner Scott advanced on the woman, grabbing her by the collar and all but throwing her bodily into one of the side rooms of the corridor.
"Wow, big bad Knives throws a woman around, what would your soulmate think?" The woman taunted using his old nickname, Scott had a boot knife out and against her throat in an instant.
"You get within a hundred meters of her and I will skin you alive! Do not test me Tess!" Scott snarled, the woman remained smirking but did not try and move.
"Oh, I know that you would Scotty, after all I watched you do it before!" Tess purred, starting to lean forward only to stop when Scott put a hairline cut on her throat that started to bleed lightly.
"I am not joke Tess, I am done with that life but if I need to remove the last trance of it that followed me by mistake…" Scott let the words trailing off, Tess glared but nodded.
"Good, now get over that fact that your soulmate rejected you and stop clinging to me Tess, it is a new galaxy embrace that fact and get over it." Scott told her before storming out of the room, taking her offered handkerchief to clean his knife and tossed it into the nearest trash.
###
Tess watched Scott stalk away, eye firmly fixed on his ass, the moment he rounded the corner she headed for the trash and took the handkerchief. Smiling she dabbed her cut to stop the bleeding before spreading a dye into the cut and relishing the sting.
"Oh Scott, I know it is a new Galaxy. It is the galaxy where you will be mine, after all who can be so dangerous one second and so tender the next. I just need to get rid of that whore who has latched on to you!" Tess muttered to herself as she walked away, with her enhanced healing the cut was already closed, leaving only a single thin black line like dozens of others on her body.
