[The camera is focussed on a twisted heap of metal that looks like it potentially could have been two separate swoop bikes at one point, before it swivels around to reveal a slightly dishevelled looking Hawke squinting up at the camera.]

You know, correct me if I’m wrong. [The camera zooms out to show that Hawke is talking to an equally dishevelled

[Shepard y u do these things]

I almost pity the swoop bikes.

[only_mostlydead]

[Because Ashley thinks she's a man. :c]

Jealousy is a tough thing to deal with, but at least they went up together.

[popaheatsink]

How's the head?

[...HE MEANS THIS IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE also. Are you okay.]

[only_mostlydead]

In retrospect, racing after drinking? Not my finest moment. [She smiles, though.]

[popaheatsink]

[He's debating trying to say he doubts her driving is much better even without the alcohol in her system, but decides against it. To her credit, she's never blown anything up before that he can remember, so maybe it is worse.] We need to get you another mako. [Because if she's going to drive around suicidal it might as well be in a, unexplodable tank with unbeatable hydraulics.]

[only_mostlydead]

[Do you see the way her eyes light up, Garrus? Do you? You have made her day.] Think of all the exploring we could do on other planets. I miss the travel, Garrus. I need to get off this planet.

[popaheatsink]

[Why does he have the feeling he's going to regret this] Yeah, that's ... exactly what I'm thinking about.

[Although her smiling makes him smile and-- hell, he can brave a few bruises and mild concussions from driving with Shepard just to see that in her eyes.] I'll work on it. They've got to have something similar on this planet.

[only_mostlydead]

[Because he's letting Shepard drive.] Please. You know you want to get out there as much as I do.

Take your time.

[popaheatsink]

[Yeah that would be it.] I'm not admitting anything.

Since we're getting a new, bigger ship, we're going to need some sort of ground transport anyway. [He'll just find the biggest heaviest most armored thing he possibly can :|b might as well give Shepard a challenge.]

[only_mostlydead]

I already know it to be true.

Bigger ship should be bought soon. [Shepard accepts this challenge.]

[failedhorribly]

Theirs was a brief, but intense and oddly pretty relationship.

[popaheatsink]

...Pretty? [A mandible flares out curiously.]

[failedhorribly]

The pink and blue were complimentary, don't you think? Also the flames.

[A beat. Squinting. Squintiiiing]

You're a space dragon.

[popaheatsink]

I prefer blue and silver myself.

[A beat, and then he bursts out laughing.] All right, that's a new one. Dragon's not bad. I usually get 'raptor.'

[failedhorribly]

Well, Shepard wanted blue to match my eyes, so I obviously had to get something pink to...actually I can't quite remember the reasoning behind it, but I'm sure it was good.

[Fuck yeah she made the space dragon laugh] I like to stand out from the crowd. Also, I have no idea what a raptor is. [Another pause] Do you have wings? [Eyeing him, trying to figure out where he might be hiding space wings]

[popaheatsink]

I'm sure there were extensive calculations involved. [Drawl.]

I don't think Shepard would travel-- and crash-- with anyone less. [Oh he has heard about you Hawke, and there is approval in his voice.] A raptor is another earth animal that no longer exists, I think. [Because dragons totally used to exist too; he knows so much about earth history!] No wings, though, [And suddenly he is missing his archangel armor, battered and broken a it was] ...less the metaphorical ones I guess.
