Well! That was charming. I love being chased by mobs of shadow critters, really, I do.

I just wish they'd chewed on a less expensive pair of boots.

[She's making it sound worse than it was. Chloe is quite good at getting away from danger.]

Everyone else in one piece? Not that I really know many of you, but the less of you are there, the less interesting things become.

Oh, and to the, um... alien-looking chap and the handsome little man who saved my skin at the station, thanks.

If there is, learn them. Running should not be your first and last option.

[He was serious about the words - he'd been given a sword and crossbow to defend himself, then got attacked by monsters that were immune to them. Getting ahead of the game in the Drabwurld wasn't likely.]

Only an idiot stands around and tries to fight something he can't defeat.

[And she's known her share of those.]

[She said, to the guy whose life's purpose was destroying a race of killer machines that were billions of years old.]

There is always a way to defeat a foe. Spend your time running and you will never find what it is.

Correction, there isn't always a way to defeat a foe. Sometimes, you're out of your league, mate. You gotta know when that is.

Yes, there is. I never said you would find a way to defeat them before you were killed, however.

Isn't the point to stay alive?

The death of the individual is insignificant to the survival of the whole.

[Unless you were commander Shepard, of course. If she failed, everyone else went down with her.]

Depends on the individual, in my opinion.

You will find your opinion matters very little in combat. [He fiddled with the locket a bit, before it straightened up.] You were not killed, so you have proven to have some survival skills at least.

Thanks, I think.

Do not thank me. Just heed my advice, human.

I'll do my best.

So what are you exactly?

I am prothean.

[No one here knew what he was, but it was still his favorite answer. The reactions were sometimes almost as amusing as telling people that did know.]

Oh.

[Well, that still doesn't tell her much more besides the fact that he's an alien. Which is what she assumed already.]

Never met one before.

The human ability to state the obvious is universal, it seems.

[Even the great commander Shepard had suffered from it, but that was to be expected from such a primitive species.]

[She quirked an eyebrow at him.]

It's part of our charm.

That is not the word I would use.

['Gross ignorance' would be a start.]

Regardless, your thanks is unneeded, but appreciated. Learn better ways to defend yourself so it does not happen again.

I'll do my best, commander.

Just 'Javik' will suffice, human.

[Trading names was... important, he supposed. He would still call her 'human', though.]

If that's what you prefer.

Preference is irrelevant. [He'd gotten nicknames before, after all. Usually unflattering ones.] We will speak again, no doubt.
