it's fine, life gets us all <3

"A few barfights, and people are pretty pissed off in general, but— they got good medics in Free Cities. We'll do fine."

She doesn't like to think about the sap, to be honest. It's one of those things that was too... uncertain. She didn't really understand the action of medi-gel either, but Shepard had spent a long time comforting herself that someone did, that the whole medical system upon which it rested had looked at the stuff with important words like 'peer review' and 'patent file' and that it had all checked out according to multiple governmental bodies, councils, and jackasses in lab coats with degrees.

Sap was goo, by comparison. Goo from a tree. What sense did that make, as a medicine? So she distracts herself.

Rooibos is good for that, incidentally, and in short order he has Shepard crooning and earning himself some chin-scritches and promises of treats. And wouldn't he like a better name for such a big and good bird, like maybe killer? Shepard thinks he might.

"I think after being kidnapped to an alternate dimension, having a second, less kind kidnapping is almost a relief— at least we knew where we stood with those freaks. I don't know how it goes elsewhere, but in Free Cities they're downright nice about it, all things considered. It's pretty damn disorienting."
