oh hells, he's hilarious. her grin grows and grows while he's still talking and when he gets it, it shifts into laughter. ]
Yeah. 'course I am.
no subject
[ but he doesn't sound too bothered by it. if anything, he's laughing a little himself. after all, he's usually a pretty laid back guy.
most of the time. ]
no subject
[ she's no longer laughing or grinning, but amusement still colours her tone and makes her eyes crinkle at the corners. ]
You bet I will.
no subject
[ because really, what did he expect when talking about Krogan Testicles? ]
Don't think you've won just yet though. One day, I'll try to get you back.

I'll have you know that I've taken plenty of humans down in my day.
[ never mind that he's not even thirty yet... so "his day" was like... a year or two ago. ]
no subject
[ dutch's grin shifts into something less smug. it's sharper instead. amused, too. ]

Back home, I was famous for my long-range abilities.
[ as for short range... his philosophy was just "hit it as hard as possible" ]
no subject
[ her grin doesn't grow any less amused, or any less sharp. ] I'm better short-range, but I've taken down plenty of aliens.
[ hullen, mainly. ]

What did you do back where you come from?
no subject
[ she shrugs. ]
Bounty hunter. [ it's the closest fit that people seem to understand. ] But then an alien invasion happened, so there's that as well.
no subject
...I'm guessing they weren't as handsome as me.
[ look, if nothing else, his voice is pretty impressive. ]
no subject
[ dutch fires it back immediately, her tone as amused as her grin is broad. and no, he's never ever getting rid of that nickname ever again. ]

and casual space racism. ]no subject
[ she's entirely unapologetic about it, too. ]
no subject
You're lucky that unlike a good chunk of my species, I happen to have an excellent sense of humour.
[ seriously. there's about 1000 jokes about turians and how uptight they are. ]
no subject
So you're a special chicken-boy?
no subject
I guess you could say that.

[ well, his voice is nice. dutch has flirted with guys for worse reasons. ]
