She let out a small chuckle as his VI spoke to him, alerting him of his rising heart rate, nodding in agreement. "Very true, Daniel." She agreed, looking at the bench she had been sleeping on with her sleeping bag and pillow. The bench was very supportive, able to keep up far more weight than one would suspect it to. She was originally going to have one of them sleep on the floor and the other on the bench, but now... "Hey, Daniel..." She began, rubbing one of her shoulders with her hand. "If you wanna share the same bunk..." She whispered, looking to him for an answer already.

Warning user heart rate continuing to rise above standard combat levels, recommend immediate action. The VI brought up another alert as his omni-tool came to life. It showed a graph of his vitals and heart rate when he was in combat and another one showing how he's feeling right now. Seems he's reacting more to this then warfare. Daniel swats away the information and shuts off that damn medical VI. His eyes glance back towards the Turian before glancing around in a nervous state. His hand reaching over to rub the back of his neck he finally made eye contact with her. "Of course..ma'am." Was all he could mutter out, the tinge of nervousness and emotions clawing at his words. Really he didn't know what to say or feel in this moment. Logically it could be too soldiers trying to get warmth for the night, not like this planet gets too cold, or this could be something else, something a little more complicated.

Cali couldn't help but giggle as his medical VI popped up again, showing his heart rate and everything. "Really Daniel, if you don't want to we don't have to." She mused, giggling at how nervous he was. She went to where the door was and stood there. Even if he refused, they still needed extra bedding and pillows. "I mean, you are ex-Cerberus, what if your elitist buddies found out you slept with an alien? What would they think then?" She teased. One part of her saw this as nothing more than something to blow off steam with. But the other part, deep down, she was genuinely intrigued by Daniel. Maybe not in the romantic sense, but a desire all the same. Her own omni-tool blinked up now, but she quickly dismissed it. Probably just more reports about the Reaper on Tuchanka.

The human went quiet for a moment before he stood up. "I don't really have any ex-Cerberus buddies anymore." That was the truth, most of all his comrades and friends have been turned into slaves for Cerberus, everyone he knew is gone. His eyes glanced to the floor as the thought crossed his mind. "If they were still around I wouldn't care what they thought." Walking over to the alien he leaned against the wall next to the door. "I don't mind, really." Looking at the Turian he slightly stepped closer as his hand curiously reached to touch her mandible but stopped halfway.

She smiled as he went to reach to stroke her face, then looked curiously at him as he stopped. She gently grasped his hand and lead it the rest of the way to her mandible, allowing him to feel it and the face paint. "Ah, cut ties after you left, hm?" She asked, moving closer to him so he didn't have to stretch his arm so much. "Same thing kinda happened to me. After I defected, I sorta lost track of everyone. Hell, they could all be dead for all I know." She admitted with a shrug. "... Well, I know one's dead for sure." She whispered, looking over away from his hand. Her omni-tool blinked alive again, to which she phased off again. "I'll tell you that story later." She said, looking over and seeing her unfinished bowl of soup. "... After finishing that."

His fingers tenderly touched along her mandible getting a feel of it, moving down to the tip of it he gave it a slight pull as he listened to her. Daniel's eyes glance towards her omni-tool before following her gaze back to the bowl. "Not exactly but...that's a story for later." He replies back, he wished he still had contacts to Cerberus, the ones who escaped from being upgraded, but most of them either went to the Alliance or are out there someone, probably dead. Daniel sighs slightly before pulling his hand away. Walking back over he moves to sit back down to finish off what was left of his nutrient paste.

Cali let out a small sigh and a nod, stepping out of the room to grab the extra bedding. When she came back, she had a torn up sleeping bag and pillow. She tossed the pillow on to the bench and unzipped the sleeping bag so it was more of a blanket, doing the same for the other sleeping bag there. She took the soup into her hands once again, starting to take a few sips of it. "So, big spoon or little spoon?" She asked bluntly, looking down at her soup.

Daniel was got off guard by her question, the man was finishing up the rest of his meal while being stuck in his own thoughts. His eyes seeming to be gazing off into space before her words grounded him back to reality. "What?" Shaking the past from his mind he glances over towards the alien, he was unfamiliar with the term she just used, though he suspects it to be something about sleeping together. Before that damn VI would point out the obvious he quickly shut the thing off for the remainder of the night.

She still chuckled at his sporadic actions. "Y'know? Huggee or hugger? Do you want me to wrap my arms around you or vice versa?" She asked, continuing to sip her soup, looking up at him. "What, don't tell me you've never cuddled with someone before." She joked, smiling at him and his VI. Her own omni-tool went off a few times, constantly beeping, constantly providing alerts. She eventually shut the damn thing off, finishing up the remainder of her soup.

Quickly he got the idea of what she meant, he sorta felt a little embarrassed not having done that sort of thing before. "No, I haven't" Daniel says plainly, really the only other intimate contact he's ever had was with someone in a very quick sexual encounter in a supply closet, that's a story for another time. "It doesn't matter, you choose." He placed the option onto her shoulders instead of his, didn't matter to him, just the idea of sleeping with someone was fine enough for him. The human glanced back at her before his eyes went to the makeshift 'bed'. Maybe he'll sleep easier with someone next to him, with this war going on it was hard to get good sleep.

"Well, you are smaller." She teased, moving the empty ball to the side. She started setting up the bench, one sleeping bag used as a comforter and the other as a blanket. She the laid down across it and stretched her arms out above her head, groaning as her back made a popping noise. She then laid still on it, patting the area next to her. "C'mon then, little spoon." She teased, turning on her side to look at him. "You're gonna sleep in that? Don't need something a bit lighter?" She asked, looking questionably at him. It seemed weird to wear something like the ragged jeans and long coat to sleep.

The man shot her a look as she stated how shorter he was to her. Lucky for her he liked tall woman so he let the comment slide. Daniel's eyes watch her get into position, he tried not to stare or at least not make it obvious that he was gawking at her. Sleep started to flirt with his tired mind and body, he had enough near death experiences and combat for one day. He'll hopefully get a good rest before doing all of that again tomorrow. There was so many things to do, for one get that shuttle in a more working order, sort through his supplies that he 'stole'. The man was spacing out again with his thoughts but once more her words snapped him out. "I uh...it's fine." He wasn't planning on sleeping with his current attire. He slid off that coat and placed it on the floor, he seemed to be taking it slow when he started to realize that he was going to strip right in front of her. Best not to make it awkward just get it over with then lay down to sleep. And so he did so, Daniel reaches to pull off his shirt, he was facing away from the alien so all she saw was his back. It had a few bruises here and there probably from falling down on the battlefield. Then he starts to worm out of those ragged jeans leaving him in his undergarment. He kept silent as he did so before moving on over to lay with her. To say the least he was fit for a soldier, no six pack but just enough muscle here and there to get the job done. Scratches and bruises ran along his upper body, fighting with lack of armor tends to get you a few more scrapes and bruises. The wound he got today was visible but thankfully looked like it was healing nicely. Finally he made eye contact with her. Not much was said, he didn't really know what to say, he just sort of scooted close letting the alien freely judge his appearance.

Calistaris watched as Daniel undressed himself. Her eyes darted around to look at the variety of bumps and bruises across his body. Her eyes also traced the scars around his body, almost as if she was trying to scan where each of his scars began and ended. A talon of hers began tracing a circle in the spot next to her. She didn't much care for the physicality of Daniel, primarily because he was the first human she had seen in this state. She moved over some to give him more space, lifting the blanket for him to scoot under in. She then moved up closer to him, her hand gently moving down from his shoulder to his side. She then stretched it around him and pulled him in closer to her body. She let out a soft yawn against the back of his head before resting her head on a pillow. She slowly began slipping into a restful state.

Slipping under the blanket with ease he laid down on his side next to the alien. The blanket protected his mostly bare body from the night as her own body supplied a source of warmth, comfort and company. He felt her form get in nice and close to him, this was the first time someone not human has gotten this physically close to him, well with the exception of Cali tackling him down on the battlefield today, but this was different, he didn't have layers of clothing to protect him, he was exposed and vulnerable yet relaxed with her presence. The human's body didn't jump or react negatively to her touch, his muscles relaxed as Cali's arm wrapped around his midsection pulling the two closer. Her arm covered his nearly acquired wound like armor protecting him from further damage. Daniel's own arm laid next to hers but not before tracing his fingers along the alien's limb feeling the uniqueness of her body. Deep down he felt at peace, secure, comfort with her beside him. It was hard to get good rest during this war, maybe he'll have better luck tonight. Most of the time he would lay in bed thinking, mostly about the war and the past. But Daniel was tired and beat from the events of today. It didn't take long until he started to slip away as well.
That place, whatever happiness that those halls and corridors had was gone, only silence, control, fear. The memories of those sensations will haunt him. The smell of smoke, the blaring alarms, the sound of soldiers marching through the halls to carry out their orders. He will remember the feeling of warm blood dripping down his traitorous damned body, every ache of pain that surged through him as he ran. The feeling of a gun in his hand pointed at the one he had feelings for. The words he muttered and pleaded will echo within his conscience like a broken record until he takes his last breath. Those memories and sensations feel all to real, he won't forget the sharpness of that sword as it delved into his flesh and most of all he will never forget looking into that woman's eyes as he put gun to her head before pulling the trigger.
"Don't be afraid Mr.Evans, the sword is only as dangerous as the one who wields it..."
The sleeping soldier's body woke up with a sudden jolt, Daniel's eyes shot open in a panic to look around the room, just to remind him that he was no longer there, that he was awake, and that was a dream. One hell of a dream, or more so a nightmare that never leaves him. The room was silent except for his heart literally bouncing up in down inside chest. Quietly as possible he sighs as a few beads of sweat dripped down his face. He didn't even know what time it was, probably too damn early. It felt like he made it through the night but at the moment he didn't want to get up. It may be best to attempt to go back to sleep but the man figures he had better odds of beating the Reapers then to fall back asleep.

Cali felt the sudden shuffle and movement next to her which woke her up as well. She slowly looked at Daniel before trying to sit up without disturbing him too much, but still letting her presence known to him as to not startle him. She slowly sat behind him, her legs outside of his, reaching her arms under his and wrapping around him. She rested her head on his shoulder, still half asleep. "Bad dream?" She asked, drowsily waving her head from side to side. "Wanna talk about it?" She continued to ask. Her eyes were only half open and it was clear she was still very tired, but also still cared that her partner for the night was not feeling well.
