how to friend a krogan.

Six pov.

I stared out from the wards at the arms of the citadel. "There must be thousands of tribes here." I say aloud.

"What do you mean tribes?" I turn around to see that big krogan wrex I believe.

"Oh where I'm from people are divided by the tribes they come from. The more prominent ones I read are the vegas tribes, the NCR, and the legion tribe." I say leaning back on it. "I'm guessing it's similar to a clan of krogan just less known." I rub the chin of my helmet.

"Ah and which of these tribes do you hail from?" Wrex asked as I sighed.

"I'm not sure. One of the vegas tribes leader of the Omertas put a bullet in my head." I explain.

"Ah the wonders of a redundant nervous system." Wrex said. "This is nothing like Tuchanka. It's too clean and too many salarians."

"Whats Tuchanka like?" I asked curiously as I watched Lilith running back and forth along the wards asking aloud where that last keeper was.

"It's a radioactive pile of rubble destroyed by nuclear fire." Wrex sighed happily as I laughed. "You find that funny?"

"Oh no it's just that sounds just like my home. Makes me think of my friends." I pull out a bottle of whiskey and drink it as a memory of Cass, Veronica, Gannon and I were drunk one night. Awkward morning when we woke up. "But it was a Radioactive piece of crap filled with even worse people. I'm an expectation and that's saying something."

"Who was the worst tribe you encountered?" Wrex asked obviously intrigued.

"Hmmm good question. The legion by just pure tactics but in the long run I would have to with the fiends." I sighed put my hands on the low level railing staring out across the citadel arms.

"We're they difficult foes?" Wrex asked leaning against it next to me.

"Not in a good way. They were junkies hopped up on narcotics to the point they were so caught up in their high that they didn't realize I was about to put a roll of coins through their skull."  I see the face of a dead fiend boy not even 17 years old coughing up a pool of blood with a smile.

"So you killed unworthy foes?" Wrex asked as I sighed.

"No I killed those that might not have deserved death." I sigh looking down before looking at the krogan. "What about you? Who was your greatest foe?"

"Oh that would be a Thresher Maw I took as my rite of passage. Killed the bastard with a bunch rockets left over from dead krogan. First one to do it." Wrex smashed his fist together. "Made me kind of a celebrity back on Tuchanka before I left."

"Huh must have been a site to see." I turn around as Lilith approached.

"Hey guys didn't expect to see you off the ship." She said as I nod pushing the memories from my mind. She had Garrus and Tali in tow.

"Yeah thought I'd go to the Flux for a drink since I have no idea what alcohol this universe has." I explained as I take off my helmet.

"I just wanted to get off the ship." Wrex shrugged as Lilith nodded.

"As long as you're not causing problems." She looked more at wrex then anything.

"Don't worry we're just swapping stories about our lifes." I try to reassure her. "I was about to go into the Flux so ready to get drunk krogan?"

"Only if you can keep up human." Wrex smirked as we walked away before my arm got pulled back. I turn to see Lilith.

"Don't get to drunk please. Also try to be back at the ship in an hour." She cautioned to me. "Otherwise I'll send John and Kaidan after you." She teased as I nodded turning back.

Lilith pov.

"You do realize that Wrex is probably going to be dragging 6 back to the ship right?" Garrus spoke aloud. "If 6 tries to go drink to drink with him at least."

"Yeah but at least he's got the krogan to watch his back." Tali said as I just watch 6 walk away.

"Eh they seem responsible enough." I say turning away. "Let's see if we can find that last keeper."

"So Tali how are you and 6?" I heard Garrus ask as we got onto an elevator to get up to the presidum.

"W-what do you mean?" Tali asked as I could hear the slight stutter.

"Word around the Normandy is that you 2 were talking tech and you just couldn't stop staring at him." Garrus said as I felt a a bit of jealousy build up.

"He was just showing me his pip-pad." Tali retorted as Garrus chuckled. "Besides he's not my type."

"And what is your type?" I asked looking back at her. Tali stayed silent as the elevator opened to show the presidum.

"If I'm correct the last one should be in the presidum tower." Garrus said as we made our way there.

No one pov.

In the Flux cheers could be heard as bets were being made. People screamed loudly. The volus owner called for everyone to quiet down.

"Ladies and gentlemen." The volus said outloud. "All bets are final. All wagers have been placed. We have 2 contesters in play still from the original 10. Wrex of clan Urdnot. And with great surprise 6 from the earth clan. Currently at 20 shot of Ryncol!" Loud cheers could be heard from human side of the bar. At a table sat the 2 in question as 8 different aliens were passed out around them.

"Just give it up sonny. You can't beat a krogan." Wrex boasted with a loud obvious slur while swaying heavily from side to side. 6 kept hold of the table to keep from hitting the ground.

"Are you kidding? This is the most fun I've had drinking." 6 matched the slur pointing a hand at the krogan.

"We will give each contender 10 more shots." The volus announced as more cheers erupted.

"WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?!" Everyone turned to the entrance to see 3 turian C-Sec officers stand there. "We got a noise complaint from the markets down below."

"Sorry officers we have a drinking contest happening." One of the servers explained as everyone was silent. The only noise among was the beat from the prepaid music.

"Oh what kind?"

"The one between a krogan and a human." A watcher stated loudly.

"ITS CYBORG!" 6 stood up shouting before sitting back down nearly tipping over in his seat.

"Just keep it down please." The first officer said before turning to leave. The cheers continued after as 10 glasses were placed infront of one another.

"Are you ready?" The volus asked them both. 6 and wrex nodded. "Began!" Wrex in the span of 30 seconds downed 7 of the shots.

"You can tap out anytime." Wrex slurred as he waved his 8th shot around before falling to the ground. Everyone gasped as they witnessed this.

"6 WINS!" A human observer cried before another krogan stepped forward.

"THAT HUMAN HASN'T TOUCH ANY IT STILL MIGHT BE WREX AS THE WINNER!" The krogan yelled as they all went silent watching 6 shakily lift the glass.

"Never give up. Never surrender!" 6 shouted before downing one shot after another before getting to his 10th. "I would like to tank all of yous for supporting my decision to drink and for wressss for all the money I have won." He downed the last shot of ryncol and threw his hands in the air in victory before looking over to see Lilith walk in confused. 6 waves enthusiastically before tipping over in his chair passing out.
