(no subject)

Date & Time: July 23rd
Location: hospital
Characters: Thane and Shepard, if someone wants to make their own thread of running into him here or whatever that's cool too (basically I guess I mean open log???)
Summary: Where did Thane get health insurance. Also Shepard visits and they talk and stuff.
Warnings: possibly ME spoilers?



[The hospital was different, to say the least, from the one he had spent so many months at. He wasn't sure what to make of the technology, it wasn't primitive so much as unfamiliar. He supposed he was unfamiliar as well, something he had been used to given how few drell existed even in their home universe. This was different though, the stares he got were longer and more confused. He didn't mind, curiosity was hardly a sin even if it could be troublesome.

More than anything he was uncomfortable. Here he had no contacts besides the Normandy crew, no one who owed him favors and no power he slowly built up in his name alone. He was more defenseless than he had ever been, yet at the same time he was safer. Thane Krios wasn't a killer here, he was another name on a long list of strange arrivals. He had no enemies he rightly made here, no history to weigh down or climb up.

It was... different. Yes, that word really did explain it all well. There was a pain in his heart to miss time with his son, a troubled certainty that he would die in this unfamiliar place, but it wasn't overpowering. He meditated a great deal on it all, his place here, what it meant, what little he could do. He explored the hospital and learned what he could. He was a man with too much time.

Sitting by the windows of the lobby was well enough at the moment, thinking deeply on what to spend his dwindling time on now that everything had changed.]

[There was something about hospitals that made Shepard vaguely uncomfortable. She couldn't put her finger on it exactly, but maybe it just reminded her of the lab where she woke up. Reminded her that sometimes people who went in didn't come back out. She managed to keep any of those thoughts off her face when visiting Thane, however. If nothing else, she was just determined to make sure he was getting out of here alive.

Spotting him by the windows, she crept up behind him as quietly as she could manage, a smirk twisting on her lips as she made her approach.

She leaned in, still far enough to defend herself if she really did surprise him. It wouldn't do any good to trigger Thane's assassin training, after all.]


Deep in thought?
