Felix Talibus
~. Turian .~ Male ~. 27 ~. Soldier: Havoc .~ “Saren Arterious?”.~
Felix continued to merely sip at his rancol as the liquid was beginning to make his stomach churn. He had not had the drink in some time so his immunity to its effects was dulled a bit. Regardless, he could not help but laugh a bit as Raziya stated to Leon that he should not have offered to pay for drinks if he was going to complain about it. The pale Turian gave her a frown but contented himself to merely enjoying his own beverage as Felix asked to know more about his two new companions. Bane seemed to give her usual Bane response, referring to him as simply ‘Turian’ rather than name. He gave her a mocked hurt look as he cast puppy green eyes in her direction. “Aw come on Bane, I know somewhere deep down under all that thick skin is a soft little girl who loves cute things…Raziya hide me.” he half ducked half hid behind the human female’s small frame as the Krogan glared at him and he half expected her to hit him. “Now Bane, you wouldn’t hit a girl would you? Plus you can’t ruin this beautiful face of mine, I just had it fixed!” He half-jokingly faked a scared appearance but enjoyed himself at the same time as Leon merely shook his head at the younger Turian’s silliness.
Raziya began to speak next as she quickly accused Leon once more of knowing more about her then he let on and stating she originated from Elysium. Felix was beginning to wonder what she had to hide, when his attention was caught by her explanation of her tangible fringe. It quite literally fascinated him as she gave insight to the silky strands purpose, running her fingers through it as if it were water. “Attracting mates, huh? Seems every species fringe does that but humans get to change theirs any which way they want.” He ran his talons over his own fringe, feeling its length and noting it was still not as long as some more mature male Turians like Leon’s, indicating his youth to his species. Then Raziya confirmed his suspicions and stated it did indeed grow back while pulling a few strands out. “You can pull it out? Alright, now we’re learning some important info here. I had no idea, but that is really interesting.” Felix’s curiosity was slated for the moment as he took a few more sips from his rancol before finally having to put the think down.
Suddenly a deep growl from Bane made him look up to see an obviously drunk human male in her grasp. The Krogan lifted him off his feet and told him to leave or he would probably never get the chance to again. Leon’s eyes narrowed at the situation as Felix stilled himself from getting involved as well. It seemed the Krogan had it under control as the two males left in fright. “Jeez, you think those two would know better than to come to a table with a Krogan at it. Nice threat there Bane, I like it.” He gave her an approving nod as he cast a glance to Raziya for her reaction to the scene. “We gather a lot of attention if you haven’t noticed Felix.” Leon’s voice broke in as Felix cast a glance back at him and only then began to realize that none of the other patrons were really sitting in a group like theirs. “Guess Turians, Humans, and Krogans aren't often seen drinking together.” He mumbled as others glared at their little group while the rest just ignored them. “And you did not notice. Very perceptive there Felix, but it speaks well on your nature. Our races need to look past our transgressions and start learning from each other rather than disputing over who is at fault.” Felix agreed to this logic but never really gave much thought on race. It made sense they were not a welcoming sight. “Either way, I believe it’s best to start speaking about business. There are some things you should know before you head out after Cerberus.”
Felix gave Leon a curious glance and wondered what he meant. His demeanor was more serious now as he noticed Leon’s expression change and the older male began to explain. “The Cerberus group at the docks has already left. More than likely they were informed of your questionings by someone…” Felix probably already knew who it was and was now regretting ever letting that Turian get off with just a punch to his ugly face. “But, I was able to determine their next location through some digging of my own. Omega seems to be where they are now and it is not surprising since they are acquiring more slaves there and dropping some off. I have procured a ship for you as well as someone who will help you get there. Do you recall Saren Arterious? Me, him, and your father used to be in the same group together back during the relay incident with the humans.” Felix had heard the name; Saren was a well-known individual among his own kind and known to others for his Specter status. Although he had never met the Turian personally, he was curious as to why another Specter was on this. “So what, the council does not think I can handle this?" Felix had received no word from them on the subject and Leon simply shrugged. “Specters have gone missing as well Felix. It makes sense to me for you to be in a group rather than alone. However, I neglected to mention to him who would all be joining. Saren is not very fond of Krogans and is an activist against all humans ever since the conflict.”
Felix clicked his mandibles at this, “Do you think Raziya is safe to come with us then?” He had heard his father speak of Saren’s hate and was weary on how he would react if he did see Razyia was joining them on this mission. Leon frowned, “I do not believe he would hurt her outright. The man is passionate about his hate but he would not go killing off humans for no good reason. She should be fine, but I would advise you, Raziya, to stay out of his way as much as possible. It would be better for everyone that way.” Felix felt a growing dislike for this Saren as Leon continued on, “The ship is a Turian model and should hold the four of you with ease. I informed him to meet us at the docking bay tonight a few hours from now. Oh, and the Primarch sends his regards to you, he is already on his way back to Palavan as we speak.” Felix looked up at this as he tried to process all this information, “Dad’s gone back so soon? That’s odd of him, since he was the one who got me into this mess in the first place.” Felix had to suppress a growl as he remembered his last meeting with the Primarch. It had not gone well but it was odd behavior of him to leave so soon. Leon shook his head to this and drank the last of his drink. “The Primarch is meant to be there for his people. He has gone back to do just that and leaves you with the task of recovering your family and finding out more about this terrorist group. For now at least, just enjoy what time you have left here before you head out. I have also already moved any essentials you three may have had to the ship, as well as food and provisions to your given species. After tonight you must make haste to Omega. This situation needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.”
Felix was clenching his mandibles against his face in frustration but understood where Leon was coming from. He pushed away his drinks as he placed his talons on his brow plate in an effort to ward off an oncoming headache. “So when do we need to meet Saren?” His question was flat and held irritation as Leon answered in kind, “Preferibbly as soon as you finish your drinks. I will not be able to escort you there since I have other matters to attend to, but I wish you all luck. Remember, Saren is hard to get along with but he is the best at what he does. I have never met another Specter like him but I will caution you on this; don’t let his methods change you Felix. You and him may have more in common than you think but torturing is never the answer. Just keep in mind what I taught you and I will keep in touch.” Leon placed some credits on the table to pay for the tab before he turned to Raziya and Bane, “It was a pleasure meeting you two. Please look after Fleix, we wouldn't want you two dying from an unexpected car crash now would we?” And with that the paler male was gone, leaving Felix lost in his own thoughts about the whole situation at hand.
He looked to his small group with round green eyes while his mandibles fluttered slightly. “Well, seems like we are going to Omega guys. Any thoughts?” He let his gaze rest on both of them as he tried to gauge their expressions. He would not know how to react to such a prestigious individual such as Saren, but so far his opinion on the guy was split in two. He respected him because of everything he had done and understood most of his species hated the humans. The relay incident was only ten years ago and the Turians had already paid their alimony for the human race. It was easy to see why tension was still present, but regardless, he harbored none of this hate for himself. Humans simply fascinated him, and while there were definitely bad ones out there were good ones as well. Just like any other race in the galaxy. “Guess Leon sure laid it all on us at the last minutes. Should have known by now that when he offers to pay for drinks it usually means he has some heavy info to lay on you…” His expression was masked now as hundreds of thoughts went through his head. For some reason he was more worried for Raziya’s wellbeing and had seen for himself the hate his kind had for her own. Those who took part in the first contact wars told horrific tales of the events, but was it not the humans who won and showed they were more than adaptable to be a part of council space?
He let a small sigh escape as he got up and pulled on his armor’s collar to stretch his neck. Things like these made his scarred face burn and his left mandible ache. Turian ships were not exactly known for their hospitable interiors and memories of boot camp were already beginning to flash across his mind. They were brutal and borderline torturous to their recruits. Something told him that Saren would be like those officers who valued beating a lesson into you in order for you to understand. Which also meant his mouth was going to get him into trouble if he did not watch it, “Ugh, I’m already getting shivers. Let’s go meet our Turian Specter shall we? I've got a feeling he may not be happy to see us though…”
Felix continued to merely sip at his rancol as the liquid was beginning to make his stomach churn. He had not had the drink in some time so his immunity to its effects was dulled a bit. Regardless, he could not help but laugh a bit as Raziya stated to Leon that he should not have offered to pay for drinks if he was going to complain about it.
