Chereads / The Dragonking of Nirn / Chapter 267 - Locked inside Medbay

Chapter 267 - Locked inside Medbay

A week passed since the Justicar Samara awakened from her coma. She and Vincent couldn't be in the same room out of fear that tension would rise again which made it quite difficult for everyone.

The Wicked Grace game night was postponed for now because of said incident and many were fast on finding the fault in Samara since she seemed to have riled up Vincent who was an upright person to them.

Titania as well as others that knew what Vincent is really like didn't distance themselves from Samara since it was just a phase of Vincent.

Once he and Samara did make peace with each other they could even become friends but that day was still far in the future or so everyone thought.

Liara got both of them on neutral ground as Dr. Chakwas was outside the Medbay not wanting to end up between Vincent's and Samara's 'conversation'.

Vincent didn't even know what was going on nor did Samara when Vincent enters the Medbay while saying, "What do you need from me, Lia-"

He sees Samara in the Medbay with Liara as he says, "Oh hell no, I was tricked into coming here."

Vincent wanted to leave but Liara pushed a button on Dr. Chakwas's desk which closed the door and locked it making Vincent's escape a bit more difficult but not impossible.

"EDI, open the door," says Vincent as he looks up to the corner when a blue ball appears in it.

"I was instructed not to do so by the Commander," says EDI as Vincent opens his hand.

"Vigilance, help me get out of here," says Vincent as Vigilance appears over Vincent's hand and he floats away.

"I will opt-out of this. I don't want to antagonize one of your wives. It is better to have one person angry at me than a whole group," says Vigilance before he disappears again.

"Fine then I will have to use another method to leave the room," says Vincent as he was ready to shout when Liara stops him.

"If you leave we will go separate ways," says Liara which stopped Vincent in his track of using his shout.

"You want to threaten me using yourself," says Vincent as he turns around walking up to Liara.

"Yes," says Liara seeing the angry face of Vincent as Vincent flinched for a moment before looking away.

"Fine, let us have this talk then," says Vincent looking at Samara angrily.

"It wasn't my idea to have this conversation," says Samara as she looked angry at Liara for backstabbing her like that.

"Now, Titania wants us all to work together and if two members of the suicide squad cant work together the mission could be our last one," says Liara serious as she looked at both of them.

"Fine, talk Samara, why should I no longer be angry at you after going for my child," says Vincent as he looked her in the eyes.

"She was the person that beat me up and sent me here. Is it that difficult to understand that I might have wanted revenge," says Samara not losing eye contact with Vincent.

"How about getting an explanation before threatening someone with Justice," says Vincent as his forehead and Samara's forehead were touching each other.

This discussion went on for a while as they were giving each other small headbutts until Liara asks them, "Is everything out of your systems?"

"Almost, but it still doesn't excuse her about what she wanted to do to our daughter. She can be happy to still be alive if the others were here when she went after Ishly she would be some blood pack for a Vampire somewhere in Akavir," says Vincent as Samara looked at Liara who looked away knowing that Vincent was saying the truth.

"What does he mean with blood pack?" asks Samara as she looked at Liara.

"The Empire has Vampires like those from Human Folklore of Earth. On Nirn they live between the people accepted by society as they normally drink animal blood but in rare cases they get people to drink blood from.

For example death row prisoners. They are brought to a place only a handful of people know about and are held there until they die out of old age," says Liara as Samara could make herself a picture of what happens there.

"The only people that are death row prisoners are mostly traitors or someone that really went out of line. But that is only nowadays, in the past bandits were the favorite food for Vampires since the Empire wanted to exterminate them completely back then," says Vincent as he looked at Samara.

"Anyway, Liara and Titania are right. If we can't work together people we care about can get killed because of us," says Vincent serious as he stretches his hand towards Samara.

"This doesn't mean we are friends but that I will make sure that no one else but me will have the privilege of killing you," says Vincent seriously when Liara hits the back of his head lightly knowing that she would hurt herself if she used too much force.

"How about you just guard each other's back without killing each other afterward. It would make all of us breathe more easily knowing that both of you don't want to kill each other," says Liara as she was shaking her hand because she didn't respect the toughness of Vincent's skin.

"Fine," says Vincent as he turned back to Samara, "As I said before but without the death threat."

"I know how it feels to want to protect someone's child since I have three myself. But I hope we can become friends after everything is over," says Samara as she took Vincent's hand before shaking it.

"Time will tell but since we made our peace for now. How about a game of Wicked Grace this night?" says Vincent as they already moved the game night up by a day every day because of the situation between Samara and Vincent.

"Wicked Grace?" asks Samara as Vincent lets go of her hand.

"A card game from Nirn. You will learn fast," says Vincent as he walked towards the door and EDI opened the door as the situation seemed to have been resolved.

Vincent walked towards Gardner and says, "Game Night tonight prepare the snacks while I make the announcement."

"I will do so," says Gardner as he brought out the bowls which he prepared before he filled each one with a different sauce while Vincent went to the elevator.

"I wished that the damn dwarf was here," says Vincent talking about Varric as he enters the elevator taking it up to the second deck.

"It seems my and Liara's idea worked," says Kelly as she sees Vincent coming out of the elevator.

"So not only the Commander and Liara but also you were involved Kelly," says Vincent as he approaches Kelly.

"I think we have a debt to settle for imprisoning me in a room," says Vincent sounding dangerous to Kelly as Kelly was between her console and Vincent.

"What can I do to settle this debt?" asks Kelly nervous as Vincent got closer to her.

"I want you to inform everyone that today is Game Night so they should prepare their money," says Vincent as he smiles at her before backing away from her.

"I thought you wanted to do something more dangerous for a moment," says Kelly in a quiet tone as she sighs in relief.

"What did you say?" asks Vincent as Kelly snaps out of it.

"Nothing, I will do so right away," says Kelly turning around when Vincent gets closer again.

"I think your imagination is running loose, Kelly Chambers," says Vincent into her ears before backing up again while Kelly blushed for a moment when the elevator door opens again and Titania comes out of it seeing them like that.

"You can flirt later with our Psychiatrist," says Titania as Vincent began to laugh.

"It has been long since I tried to make a Men into my bed. But I might change my own rule for our Kelly here. She is such a sweet person that she reminds me of someone I knew," says Vincent being reminded of Francesca.

"Please can you exempt me from this and just do what you came here to do and leave again," says Titania as Vincent walked towards the elevator.

"I already finished and Kelly, you are also invited to join us," says Vincent when Titania looks at him.

"Does Liara know that you are flirting with our innocent Kelly over her," says Titania as Kelly was now burning from embarrassment because everyone on the second deck is listening to their conversation.

"I don't think that Liara has a problem with that and sooner or later Earth will join the Empire which will solve the problem of an heir to lead Earth," says Vincent since everyone on the Normandy now knows who he is as Titania holds her face.

"Earth doesn't work like that," says Titania as Vincent smiles at her.

"Nor did many other Provinces on Nirn. But they adapted well," says Vincent as he pushes the button to the Cargo Bay, and the doors closed before Titania could say another thing.

Kelly announced through the loudspeaker about the Game Night as he reached the Cargo Bay Kelly finished her announcement. He gets out of the elevator and finds Fenris chasing Ser Jorey around the Cargo Bay when the little fellow crawled up his leg.

Vincent stretches his hand out towards Ser Jorey and the hamster jumped onto his palm when Vincent gets him to his shoulder.

"I can see that you are back to full strength," says Vincent as Ser Jorey was flexing with his little arms making Vincent chuckle for a moment.

"Once we are on Nirn you will become even stronger and an injury such as last time won't happen so easily again," says Vincent as he takes Ser Jorey from his shoulder before placing him on Fenris's back.

"Well, let me get ready for tonight's Game Night," says Vincent as he walked towards his bed and took his bag from his belt to search through it for something good to drink.
