Vetra X Sara

It worked, didn't it?

Sara pulled off her helmet, tossing it beside the wheel of the nomad as she hopped out. Her hair was sweaty and matted to her head. A gross feeling that she hated with a passion, She started unconsciously running her fingers through the mess as Sam spoke on their private channel, 

'Ryder, Vetra is approaching. She seems to be upset' Sam's monotone voice somehow seemed off... 

 The Pathfinder looked up and saw said turian barreling towards her, mandibles clenched tightly against her face. 

"Mind telling what you just pulled back there on Kadara? " Vetra boomed, her subharmonics conveying her anger even to the human.

Ryder smiled a little, cocking her hips and tossing her arms in the air, showing her body to Vetra. Besides little dings and scrapes in her armor, she was fine. "I'm fine, see? Nothing was broken or any more holes than usual" Sara joked, turning to grab her rifle out the nomad.

 "Yeah, you're fine, this time! what if you try something like that again and get killed?! What would Everyone do? " Vetra grabbed Sara's arm and spun her around, forcing her to take her scolding full force. Sara began to utter something, but Vetra wasn't finished. "Spirits, How could you be so stupid, Ryder! Taking an Atlas? If Cora hadn't used her backlash at that moment you'd be full of shrapnel"

Sara's smile faded and turned more into a heated scowl."Do you really think I went at it without a plan?" She took a step forward, her face only inches from Vetra's. " I knew what I was doing, I had a plan!"

Sara was about to keep going but the turian stopped her, her own voice is louder. "And that plan went to shit and we were seconds from having to find a new Pathfinder! Who would it be? It can't be Scott, he's still in a coma!"Vetra spat out, her subharmonics dripping with outrage.

Vetra's mandibles relaxed as she realized what she had said, she could see the tears welling in Sara's eyes.

"it worked, didn't it?  That's what being the pathfinder means, taking a risk to get things done. That's what I did, I took a risk and everything turned out fine, and don't you dare bring Scott into this, it has nothing to do with him!" The pathfinder wiped her eyes, golden streaks forming on her face as the sand and dirt off rubbed off.  

Vetra sighed heavily, she could feel the eyes of Drack, Liam, and Peebee on her and her lover. The only sound that broke the silence was the soft humming of the drive core and the occasional hic from Sara. She moved past Sara towards the armory, stopping in the doorway and saying "There's a difference between taking a risk and gambling with your life." The door shut.

Drack clears his throat and Peebee ran into the research room, leaving  Sara alone. 

"Ryder...Tann wants to speak with you on the Vidcon..." Suvi said in the softest voice she can

Sara cleared her throat and straightened her back. "Alright, I'm on my way... Thanks, Suvi, tell him I'm on my way,".
