one thing they dont teach you in spectres: how to deal with kids

... That. That is a child. Even if Nihlus hadn't already seen human children, it's not hard to guess.

Nihlus realizes he doesn't know how to deal with children up close. It's not often you see other species' young, especially as a soldier, and the last time Nihlus had spoken to a child (technically) was a brief exchange with a twenty-years-old asari in a far-off spaceport. He had pointed her to the snacks vending machine.

Ben is treated to a completely baffled expression on Nihlus's face, before the turian clears his throat (his mandibles move) uncomfortably and gets himself together.

"I can't understand you", he tries to explain, before realizing it's useless and simply shaking his head instead. That should be a universal gesture, right?
