Detention, Depths of the Castle, Thursday

[cracking-wonder.livejournal.com]

Another beautiful day had begun in Fandom, not that anyone in detention would have noticed. The lack of sunlight, the pleasant sound of Umbridge's voice, and the slightly stale smell of breakfast were all important aspects to making every day in detention routine! Surely everyone knew that surprises were no fun.

Look, the week was half over already and no one had been taken out and killed so far. That had to count for something, right?

"I can imagine you would not want to go back," Liara said. The description had rung a bell. "Is there nowhere better for you to go?"

//For th'likes of me?// Jono shook his head a little. //I have th'sort of face that you don't particularly want to wear in a crowd, luv. I lost the ability to live a normal life in my own world when I blew my jaw off. And... I'm afraid I've been down here too long to really know what else is out there. I'll manage, I'm sure. I always do. But for th'time being, everything is a bit up in the air.//

Which was fine. He still wasn't completely convinced he wouldn't be down here forever.

"You are always welcome in Armali," Liara said, wrapping her arms around her legs. "If we get out. No one would look at you strangely, outside of being curious about your species."

Jono tilted his head at her, and then found a place to sit nearby.

//You get quite the assortment of different sentient species out there, then?// It was intriguing. Hell, it was tempting. A different world entirely, where humanity and their loathing of mutants was a complete non-issue.

"Most people on Thessia are asari," Liara admitted. "But there are plenty of hub worlds with a large variety of species. And most asari are born from cross-species liaisons."

//Cross-species?// That was... actually kind of fascinating, in its own way. That there was an entire race that took parts of its genetic makeup from other races. Jonothon couldn't help but feel curious as to whether they all still managed to look similar, or if they kept some features from their non-Asari parent, as well.

Maybe he'd find out later. Maybe.

//So I'd be a bit of a curiosity,// he mused, //but nothing particularly frowned upon, so long as I don't commit some sort of serious interplanetary faux-pas.//

Good to know.

Liara smiled. "I'm sure some would find you very interesting," she said. Considering the asari inclination to make babies with anything that looked new...

She rubbed the back of her neck again. "My species can produce offspring with any sentient being," she explained. "We feel doing so adds to the species. Purebloods like me are... well, it's complicated."

//I suppose 'complicated' is a universal constant,// Jono offered, idly drawing a squiggle in the dust on the floor. //So long as there are people involved, nothing is ever going to be simple.//
