Usually, desk duty at the refugee docks is fairly quiet. Harrowing, sure--there's nothing for fostering a true, gizzard-deep understanding of the dire straits the galaxy is in quite like staring its destitute collateral damage in the eye day after day, trying to offer whatever small reassurance a body in a familiar uniform can provide in the face of incomprehensible cosmic evil.
Today, C-Sec Sergeant Ictor Aureolus almost misses the usual banal day-to-day horror.
“Chelsea,” he says, addressing the young human refugee he's lately taken under his wing in a figurative way, and more immediately under his arm in a literal way, “Please, you're bleeding from your head, I'm worried you’ll do yourself permanent damage like this--”
“It’s just a light scrape,” she says, “head wounds always look gross, now let me go“She’s right, actually,” says the asari medic he'd paged over the moment he first waded into this situation. Gailani, says her name tag. “Human scalps bleed like crazy when they're nicked, but it usually looks uglier than it really

“He said… some things. About my mom,” she says, not meeting his eyes. “He was from the same colony as me. He moved away when I was little, I think he lives on the Citadel now. He saw me and he said, hey, aren't you Melissa Sweeney’s kid, and I said, yeah, but it's Melissa Hardt now, and then he… called her some names, and said a bunch of gross things

Beautiful use of ambient dialogue characters! I was already delighted by Chelsea's spirit and Ictor's growing shock at 'squishy' humans' durability, and then Grunt started namedropping 'parents' and I cracked up laughing.
Later Garrus tries to give Grunt shit about his tiny new girlfriend but Grunt is just like FUCK YEAH I IMPRESSED A FEMALE, SUCK IT TURIAN and Garrus has to reevaluate his honorary non-conspecific adolescent not-otherwise-specified-relative teasing strategies.

Gosh, your fill was good too! Put-upon turian cops who are too jaded for this exotic human nonsense for the win, we can always use more of that. +1 to the shipper anon as well, I'd totally ship them--or both of them with the human dude, even. Maybe after he comes down from his adrenaline high, haha.
