[ No, he doesn't breathe a word, he knows better, but he does smirk just a little. At the question, though, his eyes dart toward her face as if snapped from a reverie. ]
Ah, no; no, no issues apparent. Just—wondered.
[ Which is not a doctor's job, wondering, and he silently admonishes himself for the slip of the mask, but ultimately lets it go. Shepard is his CO, yes, but he's proud to call her a friend as well. In the end, he supposes, there's not all that much cause or need for stiff protocol the way there would be on another ship, another mission.
It may be important to him to remind himself of this. It may be important because of his mounting suspicion that Shepard is enjoying this... very much.
But not enough for him to call this off, apparently. ]
No sign as well of subdermal implants or related abnormalities. Exemplary human specimen!
[ Yes, he's really fairly certain that she's attractive by human standards and probably asari as well. Similar facial structure to asari considered especially beautiful. Possibly even attractive to drell, turians; he's seen the way their squadmates look from time to time. Maybe not krogan. Too soft. Not quite enough scars.
The black of her panties contrasts sharply with her skin. His hand slides off her thigh and he takes a small step back, half-turning as if to indicate the privacy he's about to give her. ]
Ready to proceed?
[ He hasn't moved far. Just enough that it's apparent he's configuring... something. Something Shepard's probably fairly familiar with at this point. ]
