By the way, I came back from the Rakitsa village and there was just... a pile of things on my bunk. Really random things like meat and make up. Is this just something that happens?
[Daggermas has come for Tali and she is mighty confused.]
Let's see... You know the little Dagger models? Like one of those, except it's of one of the shai from Ajna, I think. Lip makeup, a shawl, a candle, a condiment holder and a kilo of meat.

The shawl's nice and I'll put the bobblehead with dagger. They can nod at each other while I'm driving...? And maybe I'll just start eating meat...
Yeah, I've been okay so far, but now we're planetside I guess it's just easier. I mean, the only reason I didn't eat it on the fleet is because we don't have any.

I think so. There must be different types, though. This stuff's like slime, but I'm sure humans aren't putting slime all over their faces all the time. I'd notice that.

Day 98
Hello, Tali'zorah. 888]
Are you doing well? Yesterday was very chaotic.
no subject
I've been better, I guess. But I'm alive! My suit's fine for now as well.
Are you OK?
no subject
Glad to hear it. He's doing alright. Just tired.
no subject
You and me both. I've been trying to sleep, but it's just not happening.
[And, after a pause.]
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
Were there many casualties, do you know?
no subject
He doesn't have a list yet. We might not have one for a while. There were quite a few minor wounds - he knows that much.
no subject
Yeah, I've seen a lot of those. I've got a few of them - between everything that's happened, I'm just a walking bruise. That's all I am now.
no subject
He knows what you mean. Try and get some rest, while you can.
no subject
Will do. And you too. Don't overwork yourself.

He received something similar prior to deployment. It included a bahari egg.
no subject
I didn't get anything like that. To be honest, I don't know what to do with most of what I did get...
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
... Has the egg hatched?
no subject
What did you get?
FROM: pilot@cdc.org
It did! She's been growing for quite a while.

Meat isn't bad. He's learned to enjoy it.
FROM: pilot@cdc.org
Lip makeup, though? What is that used for?
no subject
Really? It looks kind of disgusting... I'll just close my eyes the first time.
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
It's a human thing - they paint their lips different colours with it. I think it's to look pretty?
no subject
It's protein.
FROM: pilot@cdc.org
Huh. Strange. A bit like face paint?
no subject

no subject
No, he'd notice that as well. It seems like a very strange tradition, if that's what they use it for. He'll have to ask Chidori. She might know.
no subject
This is the longest I've been around humans in a while. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
Garrus's race - the turians - put colony markings on their faces. It might even be something like that, for all I know.
no subject
He doesn't think so. Most humans don't have facial markings. Maybe it's something to do with their biology?
no subject
Could be, but a lot of them don't use it at all... Communication? Maybe... I don't know, different colours are different messages or something.
no subject
Maybe it's a threat display.
no subject
I could believe it.
...And I know a few human women who shouldn't need it.
no subject
That would not surprise him.
