Loving An Assassin |Thane Krios|

Infirmary. 03

I woke up incredibly sore in a hospital bed. At first my vision was blurry, but it eventually cleared. I looked over to see a certain Drell sitting at my bed side with his head down. " What the hell are you doing in here Thane?" He looked up, grimacing. " Praying." " Why are you praying?" He looked back at the floor and spoke again. " You are my Siha, and I wounded you. I am praying to Arashu for forgiveness." I lifted my feet over the side of the bed, stepped on the floor, and pulled his head up. His dark green, almost black eyes stared at me in wonder. " What was that kiss about? What is a Siha?" He smiled and moved back away from my hands. " Sometimes, Drell are granted mates. Most often, it's another Drell. Occasionally, they can be outside the species. The hanar believe that the goddess Arashu grants mates as a gift. I am praying because I believe I was given a second chance."
" Second chance?" " My first mate, Irikah, was killed several years ago. My son, Kolyat, has not yet forgiven me for her death. He believes it is my fault, and he is not wrong. I have not spoken to him in years." Suddenly, his mood completely changed. " I'd suggest you leave me alone." He stood up, glared, and stormed out. I sat there shocked. " That was weird" I thought, making a mental note to not go near him during the duration of his stay.
A couple seconds later, Shepard came storming in. "Jesus Christ don't ever scare me like that again. What was Thane doing in here?" "I don't know, he was in here while I was sleeping, and then said something about me being his Siha." We both shrugged and talked for a bit. Shepard called Chawkwas in to see if I was allowed to leave. Thankfully I was and we headed up to our quarters. I did not expect to see Thane in my door way when I got there. "Now what are you doing?" I sighed. He looked around and then replied " I was observing something." What I did next was cold, but that's how he wanted me to act. "Get out." He obliged and went to the life support room, where EDI directed him.
I was taking a quick shower when I noticed the shiny lenses pointed towards the bathroom door. Grabbing a towel, I headed towards it and ripped it out of the corner. I stormed down to the life support room and immediately went off on Thane. "Go up to my quarters, now." He looked shocked and worried at the same time. He headed up, while I followed behind to ensure he got there. "What the hell is that?" He saw the camera dangling from the corner and looked confused. "I did not place it there. I had believed it was already there and left." " Bullshit." He then did the one thing he said he was never going to do again. He kissed me.
