[Stationtime is downtime, for a lot of these folks. Shepard doesn't think she'll be seeing Damon pumping iron or cramming library books anytime soon. But then, she could be wrong; she's only just met him.
Call it a gut feeling, though.]
But hey, if you want the people who have access to your inner self to keep being strangers, say so. Because I might just be a stupid human, but I think you and I should probably get to know one another. Before it becomes a life-or-death necessity, maybe?
( as far as damon's concerned, station time is all there is. he's still getting his bearings here, and while he's seen evidence that other people have been on the station before the current crop, he's seen nothing to suggest they've ever left the station. maybe that hangar is just for show. )
Easier to keep you out if I don't know you, ( he says with a tight smile, though he doesn't really know if that's true. he doesn't know shit about shit here and he knows it, but he's hardly about to admit to the gap in his knowledge. )
When I keep calling you a stupid human, remember that you said it first.
( that she's pegged him as not-human already would be frustrating enough on its own, but combined with someone he finds so deeply intolerable already, in a situation he never asked for and with questions that still haven't been answered... nothing about this is damon's idea of a good time. )
What would you like to know, stupid human? Oh, I know. I'm a Gemini, I like long walks on the beach, and my favourite colour is red.
