[ 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.

You smiled, didn't you? Even a little? You can admit it, you know!

Javik, don't be like that! I wanted to talk to you about something else! It might be easier in person though.

What is it you wish to discuss.
no subject
Well it's been over an HOUR what if I can't remember anymore?
[HUFF.]

Then it obviously was of little importance.

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.

How about the observation deck? I like looking at the stars. Let's go there.
no subject
Very well.
