Quick, 20ccs of minific, stat! Repostan!
*Thunderous footfalls are heard on the Engineering Deck as Grunt approaches Tali working at her terminal.*
Grunt: You. Quarian.
*Tali, irritated by this sudden interruption, sighs under her mask before turning and facing Grunt.*
Tali: My name is Tali!
*Grunt seems momentarily stunned by the engineer's outburst. He says her name as though tasting a new food.*
Grunt: Tali. Hmm... Tali, you are my battlemaster's mate, correct?
*Tali suddenly feels her cheeks flush under her mask.*
Tali: How... How do you know that?!
*Grunt waves the question away dismissively.*
Grunt: Is it true?
Tali: Well... I suppose you could say that...
Grunt: Suppose? You have been in his krant the longest, aside from the turian. I have watched you both in battle. Your actions work in unison. You are his mate.
*Tali wrings her hands together.*
Tali: Why are you asking this?
Grunt: I am sworn to serve my battlemaster and that means I am sworn to defend his mate. I wanted to tell you.
*Before Tali can respond, the krogan turns and leaves, leaving the engineer to her own shock. Tali turns back to her console and continues her maintenance on the drive core.*
Tali: Shepard's... mate? Keelah...
