Cali hadn't been in an intimate relationship for a while, especially after her last partner had died in such a tragic way. There were certainly a number of intimate partners, but nothing long lasting or prominent. But she didn't want to think about that now. She made her way to the Palaven gardens in the Kithoi wards after a quick Skycab flight and an elevator to the level, she was surrounded by the wonderful fauna.
The plants mostly appeared to have a dull silver color, some being giant trees that sprouted high into the sky and others being simple bushes that barely came up knee high. She was dressed down rather casual, observing the variety of incredible fauna that surrounded her. She took in a deep breath, the smells reminding her of her old life back on Palaven. After a moment of reminiscing, she decided it was due time to go back and look for her date.

She spotted them instantly, the pair sticking out like a sore thumb. The Asari, rather purplish and quite pretty, was ranting at an unfortunate c-sex officer, biotics flaring as the Turian tried to make himself look as small as possible. She was dressed in semi-formal wear, something one would use when addressing a boss or council member. Over her shoulder loomed a... It was unclear if it even qualified as Krogan at this point. Eight feet tall at least with a build to match, the man was dressed in simple yet obviously expensive black and silver dress armor, ceremonial but with enough practicality to guard against most small arms. Oddly enough, he had decided to keep the helmet on.

Cali couldn't help but stare at the commotion for a bit, shaking her head before heading over. She wasn't quite sure if there was anything she could do or say, but it's better than letting this continue.
"Uh... Is there a problem here, officer?" She asked, looking at the odd duo and waving, turning her attention back to the officer. She crossed her arms and slanted her stance, mostly to create a more dominant but relaxed state, looking puzzled at the officer.

The Asari scowled, "Just a racist, sexist, sleazy little man who should be spaced! Not only as he tried to deny my big brother entrance, not only has he insulted the entire krogan race by bringing up old citadel laws that were overturned years ago, he has the gall to let him through if he, and I quote 'loans him his consort for an hour or two'. Just because I'm an Asari traveling with a krogan means I must be a concubine, Huh? HUH!?!" The krogan meanwhile waved sheepishly at his 'date', surprisingly calm considering the fact that his sister was currently flying into the Asari equivalent of blood rage.

"Oh, I see..." She said, circling the turian. "Sir, along my line of work, I've come to be acquainted with a variety of skills." She said, starting to count on her fingers. "Public defamation, destruction of private property, arson..." She listed, standing beside the odd pair. "I'm certain you've completed your mandatory years of service to the Hierarchy and that has given light to what a cabal is, yes?" She asked, flashing her own biotics. "Trained in covert ops, heavy weapons, explosives... I think you get the gist..." She said, her mandibles pursing into a smirk. "Now, if you don't mind, you're going to let my friends here in and act like nothing happened, yes? Lest you want to lose more than your job..." If that didn't scare them off, she wasn't sure WHAT would.

"Of course! So sorry ma'ams, sir. In fact I shoul probably Uh... Patrol or something." He quickly slunk off. The Asari smiled, "I asume you are my big brothers date?

She smiled and nodded. "I suppose so! I don't believe you ever did tell me his name though." She said, waving once more at the very tall krogan. "Hi big guy! You don't have to wear the helmet you know? I mean, the radiation isn't that bad, it's just for the plants!" She said with a chuckle.

"Well this is Krochir. He's kind of self contious about his face so he keeps the mask on for the most part." She patted the krogan on the shoulder, and he slowly lumbered up to her and offered her some flowers.

Cali looked down at the flowers she was offered and took them into her hands and sniffed them. "Oh, these smell lovely! And they'll fit in perfectly with my new apartment, thank you!" She said, getting on her toes and pulling the large krogan down some gently to give him the turian equivalent of a kiss on the cheek, or where it would be under the helmet.
"So, what should we see first? There's a nice exotic section with a waterfall, and a cool little cafe towards the entrance from my understanding..." She began, moving her eyes between Krochir and his asari sibling.

Krochir grunted softly, and his sister nodded. "The waterfall sounds delightful!"

Cali smiled and nodded, leading her date and his companion into the gardens.
Deeper inside the floral display, a synthetic waterfall flushed down with a variety of silver plants decorating the surrounding area. Cali looked around and couldn't help but smile. "Y'know, seeing all this stuff makes me a little homesick."

Krochir made a strained noise, as if trying to force his mouth to work through pure will and muscle.

Cali looked up, confused at Krochir's noises. She then looked over to his asari companion as if she may know what he was trying to say.

She quieted the krogan with a pat on the shoulder, "He's asking what your home was like."

"Oh!" She exclaimed with a chuckle, looking back up at Krochir.
"Home was... Well, home. Palaven in such a beautiful planet, truly, and, where I lived, there was an abundance of these kinds of plants." She explained, smiling as she glanced a hand across one.
"Now if you mean home as in like living with my parents, that was very different." She continued explaining, looking down at her hands as they interlock, rubbing her thumbs together on top of each other. "My father was a great soldier and father, and he always wanted what was best for him, he just didn't know how to do that without pushing me into a military mindset. My mother..." She paused, dropping her hands to her sides. "I never really knew her. She died not long after I was born. I heard all these bad things about her, but part of me wants to believe she did it for a good reason."
