Borealis - Hangar & Kitchen
Serena looked back at the Hangar and, seeing Khosin headed over there. She paused briefly to make sure no one had messed with her blue print of Barat before approaching the Batarian. Sarah was making scans of Vellios to make sure the turian wasn't in as bad of condition as he seemed to be in.
I'm going to kill him when he wakes up. She decided, before smiling at Khosin.
"Well. Vellios and Hazan have had an eventful day. Everything go smoothly in your area?"Khosin had just finished loading off the supplies that he and Tonka had bought, giving the Krogan the go-ahead to take the truck back to the rental place. He was a bit startled when he heard someone talking to him, but when he noticed that it was Serena he easily returned the smile to the woman "Pretty much, I mean we went shopping, it's not like we were going to get ambushed or anything." He said, chuckling a little as he picked some of the groceries that he and Tonka had bought up "What about you? Had an eventful day as well or not?" He asked Serena as he began making his way to the kitchen "Also, if you don't mind, could you help me carry some of that stuff?" He asked, motioning with his head to the remaining supplies on the ground.
"Depends." Serena replied as she picked up the remaining supplies.
"Personally? Nope. Got the parts and tools we need with Tanya. Played some chess with Dex after working on her arm, and was about to start working on Iosif's, the stubborn git, when Vellios got in trouble at the nearby underground fight club. Though, it being Omega, 'underground' might be a loose term. Anyways, managed to get him out, but it's a bit of a mess over there with a dead body and such. I'll explain the exact details at the later team meeting.""Say..." She looked at Khosin speculatively.
"You wouldn't happen to know or want to learn how to play chess, would you?"Khosin chuckled a little when Serena said that Vellios had gotten into trouble in a nearby underground club, laughing a little when she said that 'underground' might be a bit of a loose term "Ain't that the truth, in Omega every bar, club, or whatever it was, could be considered underground." He said, chuckling slightly, as he setled down the groceries, starting to organize them in the cabinet's of the kitchen.
He raised an eyebrow when Serena asked him if he knew how to play chess, or if he wanted to learn how to play it. "Serena, I've lived most of my life in Kite's Nest and most of my contact with humans didn't leave me with much time to learn about this 'chess' so...what is it?" He asked her curiously, scratching his neck as he leaned against the kitchen's coutner "Is it like...what was this Asari game...Kepesh-Yakshi?" He asked her curiously, having heard about chess but never to learn anything apart from the name.
"Kinda, only with less three dimensions and ships." Serena practically bubbled as she set her load of supplies. She cheerfully twirled around to further explain to Khosin, obviously delighted at the chance to talk about it.
"You have two sides, with 24 pieces. They're your army or squad. You each take a turn moving, trying to capture the enemy's king piece. I could teach you how to play in return for the promise of a few games...?" Serena didn't even bother hiding the hope in her voice.
"I see...so a board game I suppose, or is it electronic like Kepesh-Yakshi?" Said Khosin as he listened to Serena explain to him what chess was all about. He was a little surprised at the offer of teaching him to play but that he'd have to play a few games with her in return "Alright then, I don't see why not." He said, scratching his head slightly in perplexity at Serena's reaction "So, do you have a board, or whatever it is you use, to play this game?" Asked Khosin, curiosity plain in his voice.
"Of course! Three of them, four if you count the practice board, total! After Vellios gets done bleeding all over the ship and relatively healed, I'll set up a practice board in the hangar room and we can start teaching you how to play. In the meantime, I'll ship some files of rules and videos on how they work over too you. Who knows, maybe you'll be better than even Dex by the time I get on to actually teaching you." Serena beamed, clearly pleased to have another chess partner.
"If you ever need to find me I'll be in the hangar bay, working on some VI or mech or drone or whatever strikes my fancy.""Wow, four boards, sure you don't wanna set up a tourney." Said Khosin jokingly, grinning slightly before nodding at what Serena said next "Alright then, I'll watch the videos you send me and then find you." Said the batarian, finding Serena's mood slightly contagious. He nodded when Serena told him that she could be found in the hangar bay most of the time "Alright, see you in a bit then." He said as she left, looking down as his omni-tool notified him that it was recieving a bunch of information files and videos.
