Taking well over a minuite to let the words sink in, Druss eventually came up with a response. "*hssk* I guess that's not a terrible idea . . . *hssk* Does the roof leak or something? You still have your hood on." Druss had looked over to him, either trying to dodge the subject or just genuinely curious by the still cloaked appearance of the strange person.

"Oh, well... I'm a survivor of a Reaper attack on my planet. Therapy and some very good people have helped fix my mind, but my body remains... Altered. I don't want to startle or intimidate others so I chose to hide my appearance." He shifted nervously, "I understand that it may seem suspicious or unsettling for you, but it is far preferable to the alternative."

Suspicion was starting to erode her trust in the stranger, the reaper excuse doing little to gain it back. "*hssk* Well uhh, thanks for the advice but I really should be going. The uhh, suit's air filters need to be changed." Druss knew quite well the suit had no need of it, ever, but she was really just looking for a quick way out of this place. The hooded figure and questions about her life, combined with the low income area of the station gave her the false idea that he was some sort of cult recruiter, or worse.

"Wait, please. If you are truly curious, I could remove my coverings. I just want your word that you will not judge me by my appearance." He rose slowly from his seat. "You are welcome to leave afterwards. Alright?"

"*hssk* Long as this isn't you about to like, flash me or some shit, then fine." This was not fine at all in her mind, which was trying to remember if she brought her VDF knife with her, staring down the stranger before her, watching his movements carefully for anything sudden.

"I'm sure you heard rumors about collectors fighting reaper forces." He shifted the hood off, revealing his insectoid head. This was the first contact he had had with another organic in quite some time. Most of his patients where anonymous, people to ashamed or embarrassed to go to normal therapists. He didn't want this meeting to end poorly, and it seemed that this was his last gamble at earning her trust. "I am what some call 'awakened', freed from reaper control." If worst came to worst, he could use biotics and escape, though he hated the idea of fighting once again.

Thankfully, he didn't have to, as Druss was now frantically prying the door open, having no clue what a collector was, not that knowing would have calmed her down at all, her breathing loud, rapid and panicked. Still, her brain was yelling at the rest of her body to run for it, first seeing if the door was locked, making a break for it outside, trying to undo or burn the lock off with her omni-tool if it was locked, to varying degrees of effectiveness.

It was unlocked, though the green glow of biotics around it indicated it would not be moving. "Honestly, for someone so self contious about her appearance, you are very quick to judge. Please calm down, I mean you no harm." He maintained a respectful distance from her to indicate he was not about to jump at her and pop her suit. "Once you have calmed down you have my word you can leave. But do you think running screaming through the lower wards alone is the best idea?"

"*hssk* S-stay back!" His words really hadn't helped, or maybe it was the biotic display? Either way, she was still quite eager to get as far away as possible from the collector, looking around for anything that could be used as a weapon.

"Don't you think that if I meant you any harm, I would have acted by now? I have nothing to gain from hurting you, and everything to gain from befriending you. So please calm down." He heald his hands up and took a step back to indicate his sincerity. "If you simply calm yourself I will let you go. I would rather not have a hysterical woman running from my house being the only impression my neighbors have of me."

Slowly backing away from the door, Druss sighed, deciding to just roll with the craziness. "*hssk* Ok, so what the fuck are you then? *hssk* Know what, nevermind, I don't wanna know." Sitting back down on the couch, Druss looked over at the collector. "*hssk* So, you got a name?"

"I am Kavel. Let's just say that the reapers were not kind to me or my people." He breathed a sigh of relief and released his hold on the door as a sign of trust. "I sincerely thank you for trusting me, I understand that this form is quite disconcerting." This was admittedly going far better than he had expected already.

"*hssk* Oh yeah? So who were they kind to?" Sarcasm. So much sarcasm. "*hssk* So, are we going to get back to the therapy pee'ka, *hssk* Or is this how you try to pick people up? *hssk* Because talking doesn't sound too weird after what I've been up to . . . *hssk* Deacon, that pee'ka." Maybe it really was just about him not having any hostile intent? It would make sense for a volus, as most aliens would appear to be misshapen to them anyways.

"Pick up?" He tilted his head quizzically, and admitedly ridiculous expression from such an intimidating creature. "I'm afraid I don't follow." To his shame, he had yet to fully learn the vernacular used in the current cycle; a problem which had lead to severa awkward confusions in the past. "In any case, I would be more than happy to continue our session. We were talking about your self esteem and career I believe."

"*hssk* And what about it? You gave advice on it, didn't you?" Druss looked over at Kavel, curiously, suspecting there was something more to this.
