Who: Clone Shepard and Nihlus Kryik
When: July 16th
Where: Just outside the medbay, moving into the cargo bay
What: Sitrep after being in cryo and mail check (and overflows from previous months)
Warnings: Possible references to past violence and body horror (Caducus Secondary event chat)
Coming out of cryostasis is uncomfortably similar to coming out of her growth tank, but this time, she has the language to articulate that in her head, and there's no Brooks waiting to teach her everything she knows.
She dresses quickly and only holds still long enough for a checkup on what was supposed to be a simple repair for her cell deterioration but had gotten complicated enough to necessitate her stay in cryo. While she waits, she checks her MID, her eyes widening at how much time she's lost, and sends a text. The second she has the medical all clear, she's out of there.
Out in the hallway, she touch types a second message to Shepard, and happens to catch sight of Nihlus coming towards her. Damnit, she'd just wanted to go and check what she's received in the cargo bay, not have to deal with the alien who could ruin her. She gives him a nod of greeting. "Nihlus."

Her expression shutters, trying to keep a handle on her bewilderment as the waiter brings the check. She deliberately ignores Nihlus while signing off on her card and gathering her things, only meeting his eyes again once she's ready to leave - jacket on, shopping collected.
"What for?" she demands, her face stony. After this roundabout interrogation by someone who knows she's the clone, an apology is the last thing she expects, and wasn't even in the realm of things she wants. If anything, she wants to know what this whole routine was for, not what the apology was for, but that question skirts dangerously close to a public admission by either one of them.
