Walking in a ... Metal wasteland ...

[calibrates_big_guns]

Who: Garrus and Shepard
What: Taking a walk, catching up, maybe a little bit of witty banter.
When: Feb 10th
Where: Starting in Prima's Quadrant, and from there who know?


[Believe it or not, Garrus was actually liking it on Cybertron. In a lot of ways it looks like home, just bigger. So, if he looks around with a sort of half-smile on his face for just a moment, forgive him.

[Still, it doesn't exactly help any homesickness he might be feeling. Just close enough to look like home, but without any of the ... home. Coming to think of it, it's ... it's been a long time since he's been back to Palaven. Until recently that was probably for the better, but he did owe his dad a visit.

[But, for now, he's going to shove that to the back of his mind and focus on the now.]

So ... you've been here for six months and you haven't found the bar? I'm disappointed Shepard.

[ There's a lot of pent up stress that she's held around not knowing about the crew, about the mission, but the way Garrus says that they succeeded, it makes her pause. Running a hand through her hair, she tries not to get misty eyed. Walk it off Shepard! Walk it off! ]

Thank god.

If there's one thing that's been keeping me up these past few months, that'd be it.

[ Okay, misty eyes couldn't be avoided, but she's still smiling! That's what matters. In fact, she tries to laugh about it too. ]

Thrilling heroics? Yeah, that sounds like us.

[ She takes a moment though---she wants to ask about everyone, but she can't find who she wants to ask about first. Hearing that her crew's alright though, that makes her breathe so much easier. ]

Hows Grunt? Or Thane---Samara. She's alright too? I mean, of course she is, she's tough, but...you know.

[ The whole Morinth-and-Justicar thing. ]

[His mandibles twitch curiously as she begins to tear up, before drawing up into a small smile. It's a side of her he hasn't really seen before and it's ... honestly, he doesn't know what to say about it other than she's got a great smile.]

It's either calling it that or brazen stupidity, and, well, I just like the ring of the first.

[He does raise an eyebrow at the follow-up questions.]

Like I said, everyone came out in one piece, but if you're talking about Morinth, you two handled that a while ago. As for Grunt, he's still traveling with us for a little while but he's an official member of Clan Urdnot.

[In probably the only away mission Garrus was actually thinking, "I'm probably going to die here ..."]

None of this is ringing any bells?

[ She looks at him incredulously. Grunt, an Urdnot. That was something else that worried her, more or less just Grunt himself without any family to speak of. Shaking her head, she wipes off her smile. ]

No. Not a thing.

It's all news to me.

[calibrates_big_guns]

Hmm ... I guess this place does do something to time.

[He's not exactly sure whether that's comforting or disconcerting.]

So. What was the last thing on your end?
