Dorm Roof, Tuesday Midday

[goforthe_optics]

She'd been here for 11 days, and this was officially a new record for the longest period of time Tali had ever spent planetside. It was still a lot to get used to, particularly how there was no constant hum of engines and life support systems, and even the Normandy seemed noisy by comparison

Jalian would be the first to admit she wasn't always the friendliest person; she was far too blunt most of the time, though she had been learning. But what she lacked in tact, she more than made up for in curiosity. And between her being out and her roommate being out, she had barely seen her yet!

So, when she caught the tail end of Tali heading out toward the roof, she gave her a bit of time and then followed.

After living with Wrex and Garrus for a while, bluntness and lack of tact didn't bother her that much any more. It took Tali a moment to notice she had company, but when she did she nodded.

"Oh, hi," she said with a wave of one hand.

"Hello." Jalian came up to sit nearby. "Do you prefer it outside?"

"I'm not used to being outside, honestly," Tali admitted. ". . . and that makes it sound like I've never been outside at all. I've visited different planets, but I've spent most of my life on board a ship. I'm not used to staying in one place this long."
