[ he has to stare at the words "i just spoke with liara" for a while, because honestly, that seems like a horrible idea. winnie and liara sound like a nightmare. he wants back in his stasis pod, please. ]
[ despite trying not to imagine the horrendous things liara might have said about him -- not aggrevating because of the insult but because her uneducated lying is an insult to all the protheans ever wished for the asari -- javik's inclination to see winnie now is low. if she hadn't mentioned the asari at all, it would be different, of course. but liara changed things.
regardless, winnie is something like a friend, despite her primitive status, and so javik goes to meet her on the observation deck. he is, of course, armoured and frowning. as always. ]
[And Winnie, as always, is smiling and cheerful when she greets him-- At least it isn't forced or faked, as she seems genuinely pleased to see him. Amazing.]
Hello! I'm glad you actually came, I thought you might be difficult. [She laughs lightly and smiles at him warmly.]
How are you? Things have finally been settling down.

Do you have something pleasing in the aftermath of destruction while you wait for more to be destroyed.
[ poetry for blowing up planets, he seems to want. alternately, just give him anything. ]
no subject
So she takes a little time to reply, wanting to pick the 'right' poem to send him.]
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
Riches I hold in light esteem,
And Love I laugh to scorn;
And lust of fame was but a dream
That vanish’d with the morn:
--
And, if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is, ‘Leave the heart that now I bear,
And give me liberty.’
--
Yea, as my swift days near their goal,
‘Tis all that I implore:
In life and death a chainless soul,
With courage to endure.
[Maybe it's not pleasing, exactly, but it's sort of inspiring, she thinks.]

"In life and death a chainless soul with courage to endure." I like it.
FROM: javik@cdc.org
Thank you.
no subject
You're welcome!
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
Is everything alright?
no subject
Of course. I take it you are well.
no subject
Oh, I'm just fine! You know me, I bounce back quickly. There's a LIBRARY here! I've been trying to read everything I can get my hands on.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
Books on war strategy and the like aren't very engaging at all. I keep falling asleep on them. :( But the poetry books are nice!
[Where are the 'Baby's First Revolution' books tbqh.]
no subject
Strategy is important. You are blue.
[ just imagine him linefacing in there. ::| ]

No, Javik, Liara is blue. I'm more of a peach-y color.
[Don't mind her laughing like an idiot at her dumb joke over here.]
no subject
I am terminating this conversation.
no subject
You smiled, didn't you? Even a little? You can admit it, you know!
[5 minutes later:]
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
Javik, don't be like that! I wanted to talk to you about something else! It might be easier in person though.
no subject
FROM: javik@cdc.org
What is it you wish to discuss.
no subject
Well it's been over an HOUR what if I can't remember anymore?
[HUFF.]
no subject
Then it obviously was of little importance.
no subject
You're so mean sometimes.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
Can we meet? Honestly I suppose it's not terribly important, but I'd still like to talk with you.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
It's nothing bad either, so don't worry! I just spoke with Liara about a few things that I wanted to talk about with you.
no subject
FROM: javik@cdc.org
Very well. Name a location and we will meet.
no subject
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
How about the observation deck? I like looking at the stars. Let's go there.
no subject
Very well.
