If that hadn't just happened on national broadcast, no one who knew would be that upset about it.

I take it the guy wasn't popular? [HE'S KNEW. OKAY, AND HE'S TRYING ;A;]

[popaheatsink]

... He was secretly a terrorist bent on destroying us all, one horrendous attack at a time, or so it seems.

PRIVATE cause you're kinda still his bro even if he's pissed as fuck at you rn

If you want to make it personal, he's responsible for Shepard's current state.

sob, typos. ⇁private

[He's about to say something in response to that first bit, because even though that sucks, Kaidan is generally a by the book sort of guy, and even he can see how this is going to have negative fall out. But then Shepard comes into the equation]

Huh. Woman's got good aim.

[See, Garrus knows what to say. ;D And he didn't feel like a long, drawn out moral argument right now. The bad guy was dead. Everyone should be celebrating.]

Not bad for point-blank, [He allows, but without the familiar turian smirk to go along with the words.] You saw-- you heard about what happened with Joker, right?

[He nods, trying to avoid feeling awkward about this topic. Garrus had been the one to go to Shepard. Garrus was the one who comforted her. It wasn't that he wanted to play tug o' war over who got to try and keep Shepard sane, but more that he wanted to help her, and he didn't know how to do that any more.]

If Saffron hadn't gotten him, I bet there would have been a line forming to do it for her. No one should have to do that to a friend. [The 'especially not Shepard' goes unsaid. They both know she's been through way too much shit already]

I'm a little disappointed I didn't get a chance, to be honest. [Exhale. It's not a tug of war, Kaidan. Garrus doesn't want to compete with you-- he'd rather you just be there for her too, actually. She needs all the friends she can get. But not if you're just going to abandon her again.]

[He rubs his forehead] Yeah, well. From what I understand of this place, there's probably no end to his type. Take out one and two more'll pop up in its place. [He doesn't want to compete with Garrus either :c well, mostly. He's just at sea on how to comfort Shepard. The last thing he wants is to overstep his bounds and accidentally make things worse for her]

It's a lot like Omega, [Garrus agrees, without thinking.] Even though Corcuscant seems a lot prettier on the outside.

⇁private

[hardheading]

Omega? [eyebrow raise] Is that where you ended up?

Re: ⇁private

[popaheatsink]

[Right. He didn't know. Garrus exhales, his expression rather flat.] Yeah. Thought I'd take a vacation to where I was needed more.

Re: ⇁private

[hardheading]

I'm judging by the look on your face that you didn't go there to take over from Aria T'Loak.

⇁private

[popaheatsink]

I'm amazed you even know that name. Stop by Omega a few times yourself? [Topic change, he's got it!]

⇁private

[hardheading]

[The look on his face says he noticed that, but he's not going to call him on it] Omega is...Omega. Her name comes up. But no, I ended up in a few places, but that wasn't one of them.

[popaheatsink]

[Good boy, Kaidan.] I was surprised to hear you were in the Traverse at all, actually. Probably a good thing you didn't stop by Omega in the meantime.

[hardheading]

I went where I was needed. [He rubs his forehead, thinking about Horizon. It wasn't the first time he'd had a reception like that]

⇁private

[popaheatsink]

Likewise. [At least he didn't have the full might of three gangs trying to kill him :( ]
