It was obvious, this time, the side of the thick shell bulging, the egg rocking a bit in the indent it was settled in. Both krogan froze then, only exchanging looks with their eyes.
“Did you see it that time?” he whispered. Wrex didn’t even know why he was whispering, but he was relieved he hadn’t just been imagining what he saw.
“Yes,” Bakara breathed.
“Should we help?” he tentatively reached for the egg, but Bakara slapped his hand. Hard. He yanked it back and resisted the urge to rub it. She was the expert here, but she didn’t have to be so damned grouchy about it!
“It needs to get out on its own,” Bakara said. He could hear, hell, he could see the strain in her. She wanted to help. Hell, he was tempted, but he understood the risks of helping. If they couldn’t get out of their shells, how could they survive their harsh homeworld?
“Maybe just hold it, then,” he urged, hating to see the conflict on her face, “It’s the first krogan born after the genophage cure. That earns it a little spoiling, right?”
Wrex couldn’t believe what was coming out of his mouth. Too much hanging around with Shepard, probably.
“Yes,” Bakara said after a moment, “Help me please, Wrex. So I don’t drop it.”
