Dregger suddenly paused noticeably, he stopped moving and he seemed to freeze in place before sloooowly turning towards Paladin, then to Terina, then back at Paladin. He scowled bitterly before saying, "You fucking idiot, are you really that naive?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I smell Asari all over you! You don't fuck your co-workers when you're a mercenary! Why can't humans ever keep their damn pants on! If you let this effect your performance in combat I'll kill you myself before I let you get me killed."
Dregger wasn't so much angry with Paladin as he was in disbelief that he would do something that Dregger considered absolutely stupid. By his standards, this was as bad as forgetting to bring ammo.

"If you Krogan have a better means of reducing stress, I'm more than happy to hear it."
Paladin did a quick field check of his weapons before turning back to the judgmental Krogan
"Besides, this is hardly my first rodeo, It's not the sex that gets you in trouble, it's the emotional attachment that fucks with your judgment. And I'm not about to fall in love again"
Ethan chuckled a bit before closing his remarks
"maybe you're just pissed you didn't get any, no need to take your four blue balls out on me my friend"

"Paladin, I dont mean to be a dick, but take it from me, you gotta be careful with sex in this business, whats just a 'casual mess around' turns serious, shit gets ugly from there-on, take it from me" began Ocara, a dour look on his face as he entered the common room, bining the blood soaked napkin he'd been holding to his face in a nearby bin.
"I don't know if you've heard 'the story', but to make a long story short, shit bites you in the ass eventually and it doesn't just bite you. And especially with co-workers man!" The Turian paused, as if deep in thought, before his usual 'friendly-glow' returned.
"Just be careful alright, what affects you could affect all of us" the Turian continued, taking a seat on the spine of one of the sofa's in the room.
"Doesn't mean you cant have fun though and Paladin, a little hint, don't crack wise about a Krogan's balls if you want to keep yours intact" he finished with a chuckle.

"Looks like we have someone who knows what they are talking about around here. I'm Dregger, nice to meet you." He said to Ocara, holding out his hand for a handshake.
"If we get into the shit, I think I'd want you to cover my back." He said, sizing up Ocara like he did with the others.

"Oh, I don't mind, and I've been in the business long enough to know that your fears aren't exactly unfounded."
Paladin finished his field inspection and retracted his rifle, the last weapon he examined.
"But I'll tell you this, you don't know me. I've loved, and I've lost her, I know the stupid shit you do for people you care about. And I am not eager to repeat those experiences. And I'm not so stupid that I can't tell the difference between a relationship and a good time. I guarantee you, this will not effect how I do my job."

"Right man, I trust you, but don't talk to me like I got no idea, I'm a walking worst-case scenario of what can go wrong" replied Ocara distractedly, a slight hint of annoyance in his voice at being talked down too. Images of Lexi were running rampant through his head now, brought about by the topic of conversation, first of how he'd been at her apartment, then finding her alive, then...
The Turian shook his head, not wishing to visit those places just yet, there was a time for recollection and reflection, and before a mission into enemy held territory was not that time.
"Dregger, good to meet you too man, looking forwards to working with ya, you seem like a good guy to have at his side during the assault of an enemy compound... What luck!" said Ocara with a beaming smile, the Turian returning the new Krogan's firm handshake.
"Whats wrong with a little 'relaxation' before a job?"
"Ha, nothing, but sometimes its best to relax alone, or with someone your not working with... Plus, of its so easy to 'get you relaxing' you might start getting a name for yourself round these parts" said the Turian with a slightly sarcastic, slightly ironic tone, accompanied by a similarly ironic wink.
Lexi had never liked girls that gave it away easily and it had been one of the many impressions she had made on Ocara.

"As long as we understand each other." Paladin didn't like dwelling on Lienne anymore than he imagined Ocara like thinking about the girl he had mentioned. But it had been two years since she was killed, he was by mo means ready to love again, and he probably wouldn't be, nobody could replace her... but he had needs, wants, and he can only tend to them himself for so long. But regardless of his actions and who he might be with, he'd always miss his little Quarian flower.
Paladin looked the group over, "Now I asked this to Raven, but the question got kind of lost in the 'on-your-back-shuffle' when 'Krogan interruptus' here," indicating Dregger, "got involved. So I'll ask again, what are we walking into here? Did the guys we captured give us any useful information beyond an address? How many can we expect there? Are they well armed? What kind of layout are we looking at? Entrance points? All of this is information we're really going to wish we had if we walk in without it."

"They didn't give any information from what I hear, but from what I know of smugglers, there will be quite a few of them, and they will be lightly armed and armored, next to no biotics, and definetely no Mechs, that's just my experience though" babbled Wires.
"Paladin, was it? Sexual entanglement is bad for merc work, having been in so many "rodeos" as you human call them you should know that by now" continued Wires with a cheeky grin on his face.

Dregger sighed at the explanation of the smuggler situation. He had been hoping for a real fight. He was considering leaving for Nebkar 6 if this didn't pan out, but he was wlling to be patient for a while.
"Ocara!" Santius said, as he entered the room. "I haven't seen you in a while! How has it been?"
He turned to the rest of the room. "And I don't think any of you have formally introduced yourselves."
He turned to the rest of the room. "And I don't think any of you have formally introduced yourselves."
"No I don't believe I have, I was... occupied elsewhere, they call me Paladin, it's nice to meet you..." Ethan extended his hand and made a meaningful pause as he waited for the other to introduce himself in turn.
Santius returned the handshake. "Santius Valerian. And surely you have a name I can refer to you by. I can't be expected to know you as 'Paladin', can I?"
"Well, I don't know you well enough to expect much of anything either way. But my family calls me Ethan. It's good to meet you Santius."
"A pleasure to meet you too, Terina," Santius said.
You call me Johnny, and I may have to slap you. I also respond to 'Hey asshole!'
"Er... I'll keep that in mind."
