Socus sat on the examination table nuzzling his Vetra, completely ignoring Lexi as she examined him without his clothes on. Lexi was scanning him, but beyond that he wasn't paying any attention to her. Even Vetra had lost focus as the pair continued toying with one another... up until Lexi let out a loud "Ahem" to bring them back to the present.
"As I was saying, I can't find anything wrong with his genitals," Lexi explained. "But I will need a sample of his ejaculate to examine for genetic defects. Preferably one without other substances contained within, such as other bodily fluids. Now, as for his larynx... HEY!!" She yelled again, trying to get their focus back.
"Sorry Lexi." Vetra mumbled.
"His vocal cords with need corrective surgery if he wants to speak again, so that will have to be done on the Nexus. I can't do it here."
"What about his behavior? He was never this clingy before. Not that I'm complaining at all..." she said trailing off as she began teasing his fringe, until Lexi held her data pad between the pair.
"I WILL separate the two of you if needed." she announced, getting sheepish looks from the lovers. "Alright, his neurochemistry has had slight modifications, but not in the amounts necessary for drastic changes in brain function. At most, he likely lost connections to some memories or regained connections to others. As for his behavior, there are several psychological explanations for his behavior, most of which would originate from his time spent being kidnapped and assaulted by the Kett." she explained. "He could be using you as a coping method to deal with the trauma inflicted on him. Or, and this is the more likely one, he is desperate for the comfort he couldn't find while captured and is seeking it from the only guaranteed source, being the woman he loves." she said, watching him rest his head on Vetra's shoulder.
"So long as he's alright then." Vetra sighed as she returned to nuzzling her lover.
"I'll still need the sample and he'll still need corrective surgery when we get back to the Nexus, but yes, he should be fine." she said, doubting the pair heard her as she set a specimen cup next to them before walking out of the medbay.

-.Several Days Later.-
...
Vetra stood in front of some crates to be loaded onto the Tempest in Kadara Port, making sure everything checked out properly before loading it onto the Pathfinder's vessel. She had been at this a while when she felt a smack on her ass as a random stranger swooped in beside her.
"Hey good looking, when you getting off?" The human with dark hair said, clearly trying to hit on her. "I figure I'll take you out for drinks then get you off again another half hour after that." he said in an attempt to be seductive.
"Hmm, not a bad idea." She said, playing along. "Care if my boyfriend tags along? he's the biotic shock trooper in the rafters above you." she said with a smirk forming on her face.
The guy looked up into the rafters, only to see a Turian/Kett hybrid baring his fangs as he reached out with his biotics and pulled the stranger towards him. As the human got within centimeters within Socus's face, the hybrid let out a blood-curdling screech before pushing the fool towards the nearest door. He and Vetra both laughed as the poor fool ran away as fast as his legs could take him.
"Thank you sweetheart." Vetra said as her lover jumped down and pulled her into a hug. The pair just stood there holding one another for a short time before Vetra gave him a quick nuzzle before returning to work, her mate watching over her carefully...
...
Vetra and Socus lay stretched out and snuggled together watching an old horror flick while eating a big bowl of graxen. Neither obviously shaken by the images on the display, and boredom seeming to stretch over Socus's face as he turned himself around and buried his face in Vetra's chest and lower neck. Vetra rubbed his back as she looked down at him, clearly concerned with if he was alright, only to hear his soft snoring start up. A smile spread across her face as she pulled him tightly, turned off the underwhelming movie, then drifted off to sleep herself...
...
Vetra woke up several hours later, nauseated and in need of a quick release. She leapt from the bed and grabbed the nearest waste basket and proceeded to upheave most of her graxen from earlier, as well as a good amount of bile. As she finished, spitting into the basket to clear the taste from her mouth, she looked up to see Socus, on the edge of the bed, frills on end, clearly ready for an attack of some kind.
"I think we both know what this means..." she said to him as she rubbed his cheek with her hand, pushing the basket away with the other, as he looked at her confused, the horror grew on his face when she guided one of his hands to her navel. "I guess that means we need to see Lexi again." she said as she nuzzled the panicking hybrid to calm him down...
