What nervousness was on his face did disappear, however, when her tone shifted and the topic of 'excitement' veered into overwhelmedness. It was a relatable feeling, and a strange, confusing one to be sure. Her revelation about what she should or should not say, then, was enough to call a somber smile to his face. "Maybe to the higher ups, like the Council, but in my eyes it's better to say what you feel." His gaze drifted off to someplace else, his own memories on the verge of returning to the surface. Then he shook it off. "I know how it feels. The cities on my home planet are encased in domes. Leaving my relatively small, closed-off home and seeing all of the vast space and<em>difference</em>outside of it...it was a nightmare in ways." A small laugh followed. Even he could see how that concept might sound strange to most outside of the drell and quarian experiences.<br/><br/>Her further attentions toward his wellness, and her offer to be called on whenever he liked, brought the flush of embarrassment (and admittedly, joy) back to his features. "Yes, my department isn't far from here, so I guess we'll be seeing each other often." He found himself liking the sound of that.<br/><br/>The topic of Min was nearly as pleasing as Rue's excitement about it. "I'm sure your fellow engineers will thank you for the extra assistance," he said, chuckling. "I've always been fascinated by VI; especially complex ones like your Min. Pretty impressive that she took in my details and stored it in a database. I'm sure it helps you remember names and faces a lot better." As a drell, the concept of forgetting things was markedly foreign, but he'd heard what a problem it was for most species. "Does Min have an avatar or icon for visual reference? If not, I'd suggest Earth's elephant species. I hear they never forget things and are incredibly playful despite their raw power."
